One moving electron when comes closer to other stationary electron, then its kinetic energy and potential energy respectively _______ and ________ .

  1. A Increases, Decreases
  2. B Increases, Increases
  3. C Decreases, Increases
  4. D Decreases, Decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Decreases, Increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
When electron comes closer to the other stationary electron, its kinetic energy decreases because of repulsion between them. As per conservation of energy, the potential energy increases.
