PLEASE HELP An electron is located 4.22 mm away from an isolated proton. If the distance between the two particles is increased to 8.44 mm, what
happens to the electrical potential energy of the electron and why?
O A. The electrical potential energy will increase because work must be done to separate two particles that attract one another.
B. The electrical potential energy will remain the same because the electron and proton are both fundamental particles and their
charge cannot be changed.
O
C. The electrical potential energy will increase because larger energies are associated with greater distances.
O D. The electrical potential energy will decrease because no work is necessary to increase the distance between particles that
demonstrate attraction.
