A particle $A$ has charge $+q$ and particle $B$ has charge $+4 q$ with each of them having the same mass $m$. When allowed to fall from rest through the same electric potential difference, the ratio of their speeds $\frac{V_A}{V_B}$ will become
$1: 2$
$2: 1$
$1: 4$
$4: 1$
Two equal point charges are fixed at $x = - a$ and $x = + a$ on the $x-$axis. Another point charge $Q$ is placed at the origin. The Change in the electrical potential energy of $Q$, when it is displaced by a small distance $x$ along the $x$-axis, is approximately proportional to
A metallic sphere has a charge of $10\,\mu C$. A unit negative charge is brought from $A$ to $B$ both $100\,cm$ away from the sphere but $A$ being east of it while $B$ being on west. The net work done is........$joule$
Three charges are placed along $x$-axis at $x=-a, x=0$ and $x=a$ as shown in the figure. The potential energy of the system is
As shown in figure, on bringing a charge $Q$ from point $A$ to $B$ and from $B$ to $C$, the work done are $2\, joule$ and $-3\, joule$ respectively. The work done to bring the charge from $C$ to $A$ is
$(a)$ Determine the electrostatic potential energy of a system consisting of two charges $7 \;\mu C$ and $-2\; \mu C$ (and with no external field) placed at $(-9 \;cm , 0,0)$ and $(9\; cm , 0,0)$ respectively.
$(b)$ How much work is required to separate the two charges infinitely away from each other?
$(c)$ Suppose that the same system of charges is now placed in an external electric field $E=A\left(1 / r^{2}\right) ; A=9 \times 10^{5} \;C m ^{-2} .$ What would the electrostatic energy of the configuration be?
