A point charge $q_{1}=1.0 \mu \mathrm{C}$ is held fixed at origin. A second point charge $q_{2}=-2.0 \mu \mathrm{C}$ and a mass $10^{-4} \mathrm{~kg}$ is placed on the $x$ -axis, $1.0 \mathrm{~m}$ from the origin. The second point charge is released from rest. What is its speed when it is $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ from the origin?

Two equal point charges Q of mass m each are separated by a distance d. One of the charges is released and moves away from the other due only to the electrical force between them. When the moving charge is a distance 4d from the other charge, what is its velocity? (Use the energy approach to solve the problem) Initial Final v=?

Four charges are fixed at the corners of a square centered at the origin as follows: q at (-a, +a); 2 q at (+a, +a); -3 q at (+a, -a); and 6 q at (-a, -a). A fifth charge +q with mass m is placed at the origin and released from rest. Find the speed when it is a great distance from the origin, where the potential energy of the fifth charge due to the four point charges is negligible.
