Problem

Two particles, one with charge

+2.0\,\mu\text{C}

and the other with charge

-3.0\,\mu\text{C}

, are each moved from point X to point Y, where the electric potential at Y is

150\,\text{V}

higher than at X. What is the ratio

\displaystyle \frac{\Delta U_{+}}{\Delta U_{-}}

of their changes in electric potential energy? (a)

+0.67

(b)

-1.5

(c)

-0.67

(d)

+0.44
