Two charges of \( +2 \) nC are 1 m apart. The energy stored in the system is about

  • A.36 nJ but negative
  • B.36 nJ
  • C.18 nJ
  • D.72 nJ

Answer: B

The energy is the product of the charges over \( 4\pi\epsilon_0 \) times the separation, \( 9 \times 10^{9} \times 4 \times 10^{-18}/1 = 3.6 \times 10^{-8} \) J. It is positive because work was needed to bring like charges together.
