Suppose you have two point charges of opposite sign.As you move them farther and farther apart,the potential energy of this system relative to infinity
A) increases.
B) decreases.
C) stays the same.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The potential energy of the system is directly proportional to the distance between the two charges. As they are moved farther and farther apart, the distance between them increases, leading to an increase in potential energy. Therefore, the correct choice is A) increases.
