Question

Particle A (mass = m, charge = Q) and B (mass = m, charge = 5 Q) are released from rest with the distance between them equal to 1.0 m. If Q = 12 micro C, what is the kinetic energy of particle B at the instant when the particles are 3.0 m apart?

Answer 1

The energy of an isolated system remains conserved in the absence of any kind of energy loss. The energy loss takes place due to the friction in the system. If the system is isolated, then energy is converted from one form to another form of energy.
