Problem

A point charge +5 μC+5\,\mu\text{C} is fixed in space. Another point charge +1 μC+1\,\mu\text{C} is moved along the line joining them from a distance of 10 cm10\,\text{cm} to 20 cm20\,\text{cm}, slowly and without acceleration. a. (i) Determine the change in electrostatic potential energy of the system. b. (ii) State the work done by an external agent during this process and its sign.
