To find the work done by an external force in bringing two charges of +10 C each from infinity to a separation of 2 meters, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of work done in electrostatics The work done by an external force in bringing two charges from infinity to a certain distance apart is equal to the change in potential energy of the system of charges. ### Step 2: Write the formula for potential energy The potential energy (U) between two point charges is given by the formula: \[ U = \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r} \] ...
