Question: If q1 = 2 C, q2 = 5 C, and q3 = 8 C, rank their respective electric potential energies from least to greatest when

If q1 = 2 C, q2 = 5 C, and q3 = 8 C, rank their respective electric potential energies from least to greatest when each charge is placed at the same location nearby a 20 C source charge. All charges are positive. A. EE1, then EE2, then EE3 B. EE3, then EE2, then EE1 C. There is no ranking because all energies will be the same due to conservation of energy. D. None of the above choices are correct
