MCQ
Identify the $WRONG$ statement
  • A
    The electrical potential energy of a system of two protons shall increase if the separation between the two is decreased.
  • The electrical potential energy of a proton electron system will increase if the separation between the two is decreased
  • C
    The electrical potential energy of a proton electron system will increase if the separation between the two is increased
  • D
    The electrical potential energy of system of two electrons shall increase if the separation between the two is decreased

Answer

Correct option: B.
The electrical potential energy of a proton electron system will increase if the separation between the two is decreased
b
For similar charge, $PE$ increases with decreases in $r.$ For dissimilar charge $PE$ decreases with decrease in $r.$

As $P.E.\, = \,\frac{{{Q_1}{Q_2}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}r}}$

A proton sits at coordinates $(x, y) = (0, 0)$, and an electron at $(d, h)$, where $d >> h$. At time $t = 0$, $a$ uniform electric field $E$ of unknown magnitude but pointing in the positive $y$ direction is turned on. Assuming that $d$ is large enough that the proton-electron interaction is negligible, the $y$ coordinates of the two particles will be equal (at equal time)
