Question

Two positive charges are equal. Which has less electric potential energy?

  1. Charge A
  2. Charge B
  3. None of them  
  4. Both of them

hintHint:

For, unlike charges potential energy decreases.

The correct answer is: Charge B


    • Electric field lines are from higher potential(positive charge) to lower potential(negative charge).
    • Charge B is positive and is at a lower potential(towards negative charge), condition of unlike charges. 
    • Charge A is positive and is at a higher potential(towards positive charge), condition of like charges.
    • For, unlike charges potential energy decreases.
    • So, the correct option is b.
