When an electron is brought near a negatively charge plate its electric potential energy is?

As an electron is brought closer to a negatively charged plate, its potential energy
increases.
Since like charges repel, the electron has to be "brought" near the negatively
charged plate ... it'll never go there on its own. You have to push it there,
meaning you have to do work on it, and that work adds to the potential energy
of the electron. As soon as you let it go, it'll whizz AWAY from the negatively
charged plate, and that energy you put into it will turn into the kinetic energy
of a hasty retreat.

What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?
The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.
What will happen if a negatively charged object is brought near a suspended positively charged object?
attrack
What happened when the two negatively charged balloons were brought together?
they repell each other like magnets
What happens to potential energy when a proton is brought closer to an electron?
Protons all have positive charge, so they repel each other. It takes work to push two protons closer together, so you're putting energy into them (potential energy increases). If you let go, the potential energy is released when the protons fly apart; it becomes kinetic energy.
What occurs between 2 unlike charges?
When two unlike charges are brought together they will attract. This is because one is usually negatively charged while the other one is usually positively charged.
What will happen to the electrons in a neutral object if a negatively charged balloon is brought near the object?
The electrons are repelled by the negatively charged balloon.
What happens if the negatively charged rod is brought close to another negatively charged rod?
they repel remember, opposites attract and likes repel.
Why was JJ Thompson important?
JJ Thompson is a Famous Inventor. JJ Contributed to the Atomic Theroy.
When 2 substances are brought together in contact there may be a physical or a chemical change depending on conditionsgive 2 examples?
1. Their outer electron shells are charged ie. -e, or anion. 2. They are a negatively charged Hydrogen atom, AKA Antimatter.
What will happen if a light neutral conductor is brought near a negatively charged object?
They will explode
What will happen if a negatively charged object is brought near a suspended positively charged object?

What are two negatively charged objects expected to do when they are brought together?
They repel each other like positive ones do. If one is negatively charged, and the other is positive, then they will move towards eachother!
Is the electric forces that one charge exerts on another changed if other charges are brought nearby?
Yes when a charge is brought near to a electric charge ,then it will cause a change the electric field of the charge depending on the polarity of the both charges.
Attraction and repulsion?
Attraction and repulsion, in physics means, is when two objects attract and repel one another. For example, an When a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with negatively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. Same goes for when a positively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will repel. But if a negatively charged rod is brought near an electroscope with positively charged leaves, the leaves will attract. Kind of like opposites attract, and likeness repels.
What is energy released on adding an electron to an isolated gas phase atom?
All electron shells represent an energy level - it doesn't matter if its the outermost shell or not. In order for there to be a release of energy the electron has to be coming from a higher energy state. The only energy state higher than the outer-most electron shell would be a free electron. The only way an electron becomes a free electron is that sufficient was provided to lift it from what-ever electron shell (energy level) it was previously in to escape velocity. The energy that it then releases in returning is then this exact same amount of energy.
What happens to potential energy when a proton is brought closer to an electron?
Protons all have positive charge, so they repel each other. It takes work to push two protons closer together, so you're putting energy into them (potential energy increases). If you let go, the potential energy is released when the protons fly apart; it becomes kinetic energy.
