Electric Potential Energy for a
System of Particles (3)
 So, the electric potential energy of this two charge system is
U  q2V1 (r )
kq1
where V1 ( r ) 
r
 Hence the electric potential of the two charge system is
q1
r
kq1q 2
U
r
q2
 If the two point charges have the same sign, then we must do positive
work on the particles to bring them together.
 If the two charges have opposite signs, we must do negative work on the
system to bring them together from infinity.
