start with a pair of positive charges a set distance apart at rest. Then, I let go.
Which of the following describes the subsequent behavior of the system?
| A |
The charges move apart. The speed keeps increasing through time. |
|
| B |
There is a force at right angles to the motion at any time, so as the charges move apart, they each move in a spiral. |
|
| C |
The charges move apart. The speed keeps decreasing through time. |
|
| D |
The charges move toward each other. The speed decreases consistently so they never really reach each other. |
|
| E |
The charges move toward each other. Their speed increases until they collide. |
|
| F |
There is a force at right angles to the motion at any time, so as the charges move toward each other, they each move in a spiral. |
|
| G |
The charges move apart. The speed increases at first, but falls to zero as tehy get very far apart. |
|
| H |
The motion is unpredictable. |
