ET6-QRT1: TWO CHARGED OBJECTS-WORK AND ENERGY
Shown below are the positions of two small objects with identical masses and different charges. The
smaller charge is fixed in place while the +4q charge with mass m is free to move. At time t,, the charges
are at rest and separated by a distance d. At a later time t2, the charges are separated by a distance 2d.

A. Is the work done by the +q charge on the +4q charge during the time interval from t, to t₂
positive, negative, or zero? If the work done cannot be determined with the given information, state
that explicitly. Explain.
