23.1 23.2: 23.3: a) b) At the closest point, the velocity is zero: 23.4: 23.5: a) 23.6:23.7: a) So solving for.x we find: ‘Therefore the only value between the two charges. 23.8: From Example 23.1, the initial energy can be calculated: When velocity equals zero, all energy is electric potential energy, so: 23.9: e the work done is zero, the sum of the work to bring in the two equal charges, q must equal the work done in bringing in charge Q.23.10: The work is the potential energy of the combination, Since U is negative, we want do to separate the particles 23.11: 23.12: Get closest distance _ Energy conservation: Maximum force: 23.13: It is faster at B; a negative charge gains speed when it moves to higher potential.
