first situation: charge 'q' is placed (at point A)near a charge 'Q' at a distance of 'p' centimeters. second situation: charge '2q' is placed(at point B) near charge 'Q' at distance of '2p' centimetrs. i)in which situation the potential energy of the system the greatest? ii)at what point (among A and B) the electric potential the greatest? plzzzzzzzzzzz........ explain...........

							
Dear student,
Potential energy is given as
1/4pie. e(q1q2/r^2)
when charge is doubled, PE will also be doubled...
