______ 4. Justin was creating a chart comparing the potential energy between charged particles and the potential energy of magnets. Which of the following is true?
A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
B. The potential energy increases between like charges and decreases between like poles as they move closer together.
C. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles decreases as they move closer together.
D. The potential energy decreases between like charges and increases between like poles as they move closer together.

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.
