At a swim meet, a first and second place winner stands on a platform at two different heights. Which swimmer has more potential energy? Support your answer. Please put explantation!!!

The gravitational force has an infinite reach.

The electrical force has an infinite reach.

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational force between two point size masses is given as

so here it exist upto infinite distance and also we can see it inversely depends on the square of the distance between two masses.

Similarly electrical force between two charges is given as

So it is also similar formula which will act up to infinite distance and it is also inversely depends on the square of the distance between two charges
