$A$ charged particle $q$ is shot from a large distance with speed $v$ towards a fixed charged particle $Q$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be:

  • A
    $r$
  • B
    $2r$
  • C
    $r/2$
  • D
    $r/4$

$A$ point charge $2 \times 10^{-2} \, C$ is moved from $P$ to $S$ in a uniform electric field of $30 \, N C^{-1}$ directed along the positive $x$-axis. If the coordinates of $P$ and $S$ are $(1, 2, 0) \, m$ and $(0, 0, 0) \, m$ respectively,the work done by the electric field will be $......... \, mJ$.
