Describe why the potential energy at non-finite separation

Reference no: EM13667570

"For a system of two particles we often let the potential energy for the force among the particles approach zero as the separation of the particles approaches infinity. If this choice is made, describe why the potential energy at non-finite separation is positive if the particles repel one another and negative if they attract"
