Problem

Three different two-charge systems are described below. • System W: +2q and +2q separated by distance 2d • System X: +3q and −q separated by distance 3d • System Y: −2q and −3q separated by distance d Rank the electric potential energies U_W, U_X, and U_Y from most positive to most negative. a) UW>UY>UXU_W > U_Y > U_X b) UY>UW>UXU_Y > U_W > U_X c) UX>UW>UYU_X > U_W > U_Y d) UW>UX>UYU_W > U_X > U_Y
