how to calculate the electrical potential energy of an object in matlab

The electrical potential energy of an object can be calculated in MATLAB using the following formula:

U = (k*q1*q2) / r

where U is the electrical potential energy in Joules, k is Coulomb's constant (910^9 Nm^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges of the interacting objects in Coulombs and r is the distance between the objects in meters.

Here's the MATLAB code to calculate the electrical potential energy of an object:

main.m
% Define Coulomb's constant and charges of interacting objects
k = 9e9;
q1 = 1e-6;
q2 = 2e-6;

% Define the distance between the objects
r = 0.01;

% Calculate the electrical potential energy
U = (k*q1*q2) / r

% Output the result to the console
disp(['The electrical potential energy is ', num2str(U), ' Joules']);

In this example, the electrical potential energy is calculated for two objects with charges of 1 microCoulomb and 2 microCoulombs separated by a distance of 1 centimeter.
