    The document summarizes the potential energy (U) of two charged particles (electrons). It gives the equation for the potential energy as the sum of the kinetic energy of each particle and their electrostatic interaction. It calculates the potential energy to be -7.31 x 10-19 J, indicating the particles are attracted to each other. Since the potential energy is negative, work must be done to separate the particles.

      7.31  10 19 J

    Since U is negative, we want do  7.31  10 19 J to separate the particles
