To solve the problem, we will use the principle of conservation of energy. The total mechanical energy of the system (potential energy + kinetic energy) remains constant if no external work is done on the system. ### Step 1: Identify the initial and final states - **Initial state (Position 1)**: - Distance from the fixed charge \( R_1 = 0.5 \, \text{m} \) (50 cm) - Kinetic energy \( KE_1 = 0 \) (the particle is at rest) - Potential energy \( PE_1 = \frac{k \cdot Q_1 \cdot Q_2}{R_1} \) ...
