Answer :
The electric potential energy of this system of charges will be +1.44 J. Option E is correct.
What is the electric potential energy ?
Electric potential energy stands for the energy that is required to displace a charge in against an electric field.
Given data;
q₁ = 4. 0 µc
q₂ = -8. 0 µc
D(distance between charges) = 0.2 m
The electric potential energy is found as;
[tex]\rm E = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r} \\\\ \rm E = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 4 \times 10^{-6}\times (-8.0)\times 10^{-6}}{0.2} \\\\ E=+1.44 J[/tex]
The electric potential energy of this system of charges will be +1.44 J.
Hence,option E is correct.
