CHM 101 Thermochemistry II Objective Question

Question

What is the formula for electrostatic potential energy?
Options
A E = mc²
B Eₑₗ = kQ₁Q₂/d
Correct Answer
C PE = mgh
D T = ½ mv²
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electrostatic potential energy is given by Eₑₗ = kQ₁Q₂/d, where Q₁ and Q₂ are charges, d is distance between charges, and k is the proportionality constant (8.99 × 10⁹ J·m/C²).

Hint

The notes provide this formula.
