2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy
When one electron is taken towards the other electron, then the electric potential energy of the system
A
Decreases
B
Increases
C
Remains unchanged
D
Becomes zero
(AIPMT-1993) (AIPMT-1999)
Solution
(b) Potential energy of the system will be given by $ = \frac{{( – e)\,( – e)}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}} = \frac{{{e^2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$
As $r$ decreases, potential energy increases.
