Three negative charges of equal magnitudes are positioned along the x-axis at x = -a, x=0, and x = +a respectively. The charge located at x=0 is moved away along the y-axis to a position (x,y) = (0, +a).
 
  How does the potential energy of the system of charges change as a result? A)
 
  The potential energy may increase or decrease depending on the magnitude of the charges.
  B)
 
  The potential energy increases.
  C)
 
  The potential energy decreases.
  D)
 
  The potential energy stays the same.
  E)
 
  More information is needed to answer the question.

About 80% of major fungal systemic infections are due to Candida albicans. Another form, Candida peritonitis, occurs most often in postoperative patients. A rare disease, Candida meningitis, may follow leukemia, kidney transplant, other immunosuppressed factors, or when suffering from Candida septicemia.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Drying your hands with a paper towel will reduce the bacterial count on your hands by 45–60%.

Did you know?

Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing for mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures.
