उत्तर
The amount work done to separate the charges at infinity will be equal to potential energy.
Potential energy of the system U = `U_(q.2q) + U_(q-4q) + U_(2q-4q)`
`U = (kq(2q))/l + (kq(-4q))/l + (k2q(-4q))/l = (-10kq^2)/l`
Thus work done to seperate them to infinity W = U = `(-10kq^2)/l`

In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K1 is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q1′ and Q2′ as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.]

Then
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ = Q2′
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ + Q2′ = Q
