a positive charge is shot toward a positive charge. using the concept of energy why does the charge slow down

3 answers

The positive charge slows down because when two positive charges are brought together, energy is released in the form of electrostatic repulsion. This energy is converted into kinetic energy, which causes the charge to slow down.
The energy is converted to potential energy, like rolling up a hill. When it comes to a stop, it will reverse and be forced away, losing potential and gaining kinetic as it heads back for where it came from.
