How much work is required separate the two charges infinitely away from each other ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The work required to separate the two charges infinitely away from each other is
`w= U_(2)-U_(1)`
=0-U where `U_(2)` = potential energy at infinite distance =0
`=-U`
`=-(-0.7)`
`=0.7` J
