Electrostatic Potential Energy Simulation
This simulation demonstrates the electrostatic potential energy between two charges. The fixed charge Q is at the origin, and the test charge q is moved from point R to P. The work done against the electric force is stored as potential energy.
\( W_{RP} = \int_R^P F_{\text{ext}} \cdot dr = -\int_R^P F_E \cdot dr \)
Value: 2 µC
Value: 1 µC
Value: 20 cm
Simulation Info: When you start the simulation, the test charge q will be moved slowly from point R to point P against the electric force. The blue arrow shows the external force applied, while the red arrow shows the electric force. The potential energy is calculated and displayed during the movement.
Potential Energy: \( U = k_e \frac{Qq}{r} \)
