Questions and Answers

What happens to the electrostatic potential energy when the distance between two point charges doubles?

  • It increases to four times the original value
  • It becomes twice the original value
  • It decreases to one-fourth of the original value (correct)
  • It remains the same
  • What is the formula for calculating the electrostatic potential energy?

  • U = k * (|q1 * q2|) / r (correct)
  • U = k / (|q1 * q2|) / r
  • U = k * (q1 * q2) * r
  • U = k / (q1 * q2) * r
  • How does the magnitude of the charges affect the electrostatic potential energy?

  • Has no effect on the electrostatic potential energy
  • Inversely proportional to the square of the charges
  • Directly proportional to the square of the charges
  • Directly proportional to the product of the charges (correct)
