¿Cómo cambia la energía potencial eléctrica entre dos partículas cargadas
positivamente si se triplica
la distancia entre ellas?
A. Se incrementa en un factor de 3.
OB. Se reduce por un factor de 3.
C. Se incrementa en un factor de 9.
OD. Se reduce en un factor de 9.



Answer :

The electric potential energy between two positively charged particles changes when the distance between them is tripled.

When the distance between the particles is tripled:
- The electric potential energy decreases because they are now further apart, and the force of attraction between them diminishes.
- The change in electric potential energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that if the distance is tripled, the electric potential energy decreases by a factor of 1/(3)^2 = 1/9.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
OD. Se reduce en un factor de 9. (It decreases by a factor of 9.)
