Question

A positive point charge q_1 is fixed on an infinite frictionless tabletop. A second positive point charge q_2 is released from rest nearby, and is free to move. Which of the following statement(s), if any, correctly describe the motion of q_2 after it is released? Its acceleration is zero just after it is released As it moves farther from q_1, its speed will decrease. Its speed will be greatest just after it is released. As it moves farther from q_1, its speed will keep increasing. As it moves farther from q_1, its acceleration will keep increasing.

Explanation / Answer

as it moves farther than q1 , its speed will decrese. because of repulsive force between them

its speed will be greatest just after it is released
