Electric Potential Energy of a Three-Charge System

Mark
< Prev
Next >

A system consists of three point charges arranged collinearly: a negative charge -q is positioned between two positive charges +q. The distance from the negative charge to each positive charge is d. The negative charge is then moved to one end of the line, maintaining a distance d between adjacent charges. What is the ratio of the system’s final total electric potential energy to its initial total electric potential energy?
