Electrostatic Potential Energy Calculator:

Enter the values of Coulomb’s constant, Charge of the Particle one q1_(C), Charge of the Particle two q2_(C) & Distance between two r_(m)  to determine the value of Electrostatic Potential Energy Ue_(J).

Electrostatic Potential Energy Formula:

The Electrostatic Potential Energy Ue_(J) in Joules is Equal to the Coulomb’s constant k_{(kg m}³_s^-2_C^-2₎ in kilogram meter cube second square Coulomb square and Multiply the Charge of the Particle one q1_(C) in Coulomb and is Multiply the Charge of the Particle two q2_(C) in Coulomb and is Divided by the Distance between two Charges r_(m) in Meter.

The Equation of Electrostatic Potential Energy can be written as,

Ue_(J) = k_{(kg m}³_s^-2_C^-2₎ * q1_(C) * q2_(C) / r_(m)

Here,

Ue_(J) = Electrostatic Potential Energy in Joules

k_{(kg m}³_s^-2_C^-2₎ = Coulomb’s constant in kilogram meter cube second square Coulomb square

q1_(C) = Charge of the Particle one in Coulomb

q2_(C) = Charge of the Particle two in Coulomb

r_(m) = Distance between two Charges in Meter

Electrostatic Potential Energy Calculation:

1) Calculate the Electrostatic Potential Energy and given for the Coulomb’s constant = 8.9875517923* 10⁹ kg m3⋅s−2⋅C−2, Charge of the Particle one = 10C, Charge of the Particle two = 12C, Distance between two Charges = 60m.

Answer

Ue = k * q1 * q2 / r

Ue = 8.9875517923*10⁹ * 10 * 12 * / 60

Ue = 1.79e¹⁰Joules.

2) Calculate the Distance between two Charges and given for the Coulomb’s constant = 8.9875517923* 109 kg m3⋅s−2⋅C−2, Charge of the Particle one = 10C, Charge of the Particle two = 12C, Electrostatic Potential Energy = 1.79e¹⁰Joules.

Answer

Ue = k * q1 * q2 / r

1.79e¹⁰ = 8.9875517923*109 * 10 * 12 * / r

r = 60m.
