(a) What is the electric potential energy of two electrons separated by 3.00 nm? (b) If the separation increases, does the potential energy increase or decrease ?

Assertion : When two positive point charges move away from each other, then their electrostatic potential energy decreases. Reason : Change in potential energy between two points is equal to the work done by electrostatic forces.

As an electron makes a transition from an excited state to the ground state of a hydrogen like atom/ion (a) kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy decrease (b) kinetic energy decreases, potential energy increases but total energy remains same (c ) kinetic energy and total energy decrease but potential energy increases (d) its kinetic energy increases but potential energy and total energy decrease

Assertion: When two unlike charges are brought nearer, their electrostatic potentiasl energy decreases. Reason: All conservative forces act in the direction of decreasing potential energy.

Asseration : If work by done conservative forces is positive, kinetic energy will increase. Reason : Because potential energy will decrease.
