Concept explainers
The correct option.
Answer to Problem 2FC
The correct option is, “(d) No, because the electric potential energy EPE at a given location depends on the charge placed at that location as well as the electric potential V”.
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Write the expression for electric potential energy.
Here,
V is the electric potential.
Explanation:
Since the electric potential energy is dependent upon the charge directly.
So, the electric potential energy of the charges is different irrespective of the same potential of the location.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is, “(d) No, because the electric potential energy EPE at a given location depends on the charge placed at that location as well as the electric potential V”.
