Question

MATH AND PHYSICS Understanding how electrostatic potential energy scales with ch.. Decide how the electrons in the following table would be listed, if they were listed in order of increasing electrostatic potential energy. That is, select"l" next to the electron with the lowest electrostatic potential energy, select "2" next to the electron with the second lowest electrostatic potential energy, and so on. electrostatic potential energy electron location A 4.4 nm from an anion with a charge of -1(choose one) B 4.4 nm from an anion with a charge of -2(choose one) : C 3.3 nm from an anion with a charge of -2 (choose one) D 5.5 nm from an anion with a charge of-(choose one) Check

Explanation / Answer

Electrostatic potential V=KQ/r where

K= electrostatic constant

Q= charge and

r = distance

A)V=9x109x(-1)/4.4x10-9

V=-2.04x10^18

b):9x109x(-2)/4.4x109

V= -4.08x1018

C):V=(-2.72)x10^18

D):V=(-1.63)x10^18

Now electrostatic potential energy=qV where q is the other charge.
