A point charge of 5.4 x 10-6 is held in place (initially at rest) at the origin. If a second point charge of -5.9 x 10-6  C is moved from its initial location of (0.48, 0) m to a final location of (1.3, 0) m, what is the change in potential energy of the system. Assume that the 2 point charges are isolated.
