Charges (+q) and (–q) are placed at points A and B respectively which are a distance 2L apart. C is the midpoint between A and B. What is the work done in moving a charge +Q along the semicircle CRD?

उत्तर

Vc = 0,
VD = `1/(4piepsi_0)[q/(3L) - q/L] = (-q)/(6piepsi_0L)`
W = Q[VD - Vc] = `(-Qq)/(6piepsi_0L)`

Find out the amount of the work done to separate the charges at infinite distance.
A point charge Q is placed at point O as shown in the figure. The potential difference VA – VB positive. Is the charge Q negative or positive?

If a charge q0 is there in an electric field caused by several point charges qi. The potential energy of q0 is given by ________.
- Assertion (A): An electron has a high potential energy when it is at a location associated with a more negative value of potential, and a low potential energy when at a location associated with a more positive potential.
- Reason (R): Electrons move from a region of higher potential to region of lower potential.

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
Calculate potential energy of a point charge – q placed along the axis due to a charge +Q uniformly distributed along a ring of radius R. Sketch P.E. as a function of axial distance z from the centre of the ring. Looking at graph, can you see what would happen if – q is displaced slightly from the centre of the ring (along the axis)?
The symbol, SI unit, and nature of electrostatic potential energy are respectively:

For n charges \[q_1, q_2, \ldots, q_n\] at positions \[r_1, r_2, \ldots, r_n\], where \[r_{ij}\] is the distance between charge i and charge j, the total electrostatic potential energy of the system is:
Four charges +q, -q, +q, -q are arranged alternately at corners A, B, C, D of a square of side d. With +q already at A, the work done in bringing -q from infinity to corner B is:
