Problem

Three separate two-charge systems are arranged as follows. • System A: +q and +q separated by distance d • System B: +q and −q separated by distance 2d • System C: −q and −q separated by distance d Which ranking correctly orders the electric potential energies U_A, U_B, and U_C from most positive to most negative? a) UA>UB>UCU_A > U_B > U_C b) UB>UA=UCU_B > U_A = U_C c) UA=UC>UBU_A = U_C > U_B d) UA>UC>UBU_A > U_C > U_B
