  1. Answer:

    A negative potential energy becomes more negative

    Explanation:

    Let the charges be – Q₁ and Q₂ . Let the distance between them be d .

    Potential energy = k -Q₁x Q₂ / R

    = – KQ₁ Q₂ / R

    Now if the magnitude of R decreases , the magnitude of potential energy increases . So we see that the negative  potential energy becomes more negative .
