Two positively charged particles $X$ and $Y$ are initially far away from each other and at rest. $X$ begins to move towards $Y$ with some initial velocity. The total momentum and energy of the system are $p$ and $E$.

  • A

    If $Y$ is fixed, both $p$ and $E$ are conserved.

  • B

    If $Y$ is fixed, $E$ is conserved, but not $p$.

  • C

    If both are free to move, $p$ is conserved but not $E$.

  • D

    If both are free, $E$ is conserved, but not $p$.
