A proton is kept at rest A positively charged particle is released from rest at a distance S in its field Consider two experiments one in which the charged particle is also a proton and in another a positron In the same time t the work done on the two moving charged particles is 1 same as the same force law is involved in the two experiments 2 less for the case of a positron as the positron moves away more rapidly and the force on it weakens 3 more for the case of a positron as the positron moves a larger distance away 4 same as the work is done by a charged particle on the stationary proton
