A point charge `q_1` is held stationary at the origin. A second charge `q_2` is placed at a point a, and the electric potential energy of the pair of charges is `-6.4 xx 10^-8 J`. When the second charge is moved to point b, the electric force on the charge does `4.2 xx 10^-8 J` of work. What is the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b?

Best answer
Correct Answer - A
Work done by electrostatic forces
`W=-/_U=U_i-U_f`
`:. U_f=U_i-W`
`=(-6.4xx10^-8)-(4.2xx10^-8)`
`=-10.6xx10^-8J`
