When an electron approaches a proton- their electrostatic potential energydecreasesincreasesremains unchangedNone of the above

Question

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

The electron has negative charge and the proton has positive charge- When an electron is bringing towards a proton- then due to the opposite charge attractive force is produces between them- Electrostatic potential energy is the capacity to do work which arises from the position or configuration- As only little work is needed for approaching an electron to proton- their electrostatic potential energy decreases-
