AP Physics 2
10.7 Conservation of Electric Energy
10.4 Electric Potential Energy
A small particle with a negative charge \(-q\) is released from rest near a fixed sphere with a positive charge \(+Q\). No forces other than the electrostatic force act on the particle. As the particle moves closer to the positive sphere, how does the electric potential energy of the particle-sphere system change, and why?
