the electrostatic potential energy between two protons seperated by 1A is :
Added by Francisca M.
Step 1
The electrostatic potential energy between two point charges can be calculated using the formula: U = k * (q1 * q2) / r where U is the potential energy, k is the Coulomb constant (9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, and r is the Show more…
