An electrically charged particle is fixed at the point x = 0. A second electrically charged particle is located nearby and to the right of the first particle. It is free to move along the positive x-axis. The potential energy of the 2-partile system is U = D/x where D is a negative constant. Is the force obtained between the two charged particles attractive or repulsive? O A. The system is in stable equilibrium, therefore, the force is Zero O B. Repulsive O C. More information is needed.
