One charge is fixed q1 = 5 µC at the origin in a coordinate system, a second charge q2 = -3.2 µC the other is at a distance of x = 90 m from the origin. What is the potential energy of this pair of charges?

5.4uC

Explanation:

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
