$A$ particle of mass $1 \text{ g}$ and charge $1 \mu\text{C}$ is held at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface at a distance of $1 \text{ m}$ from a fixed charge of $2 \text{ mC}$. If the particle is released, it will be repelled. What is the speed of the particle when it is at a distance of $10 \text{ m}$ from the fixed charge (in $\text{ m s}^{-1}$)?

Two point charges $A = +3 \text{ nC}$ and $B = +1 \text{ nC}$ are placed $5 \text{ cm}$ apart in air. The work done to move charge $B$ towards $A$ by $1 \text{ cm}$ is

$A$ negatively charged particle is released from rest in a uniform electric field. The electric potential energy of the charge:

Consider a spherical shell of radius $R$ with a total charge $+Q$ uniformly spread on its surface (centre of the shell lies at the origin $x=0$). Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are brought,one after the other,from far away and placed at $x=-a/2$ and $x=+a/2$ $(a < 2R)$,respectively. The magnitude of the work done in this process is:
