When two charged particles are moving toward each other their velocities decrease until they eventually become to a stop what happens afterwards

1 answer

After the charged particles come to a stop, their velocities will typically reverse direction and they will begin to move away from each other. This is because the particles will experience a repulsive force due to their like charges. The particles will continue to move away from each other until they reach a certain distance where the force of repulsion is balanced by other forces in the system.
