A square of side ‘$a$’ has charge $Q$ at its centre and charge ‘$q$’ at one of the corners. The work required to be done in moving the charge ‘$q$’ from the corner to the diagonally opposite corner is
Zero
$\frac{{Qq}}{{4\pi { \in _0}a}}$
$\frac{{Qq\sqrt 2 }}{{4\pi { \in _0}a}}$
$\frac{{Qq}}{{2\pi { \in _0}a}}$
A point charge $q$ is surrounded by eight identical charges at distance $r$ as shown in figure. How much work is done by the forces of electrostatic repulsion when the point charge at the centre is removed to infinity?
A test charge $q$ is made to move in the electric field of a point charge $Q$ along two different closed paths as per figure. First path has sections along and perpendicular to lines of electric field. Second path is a rectangular loop of the same area as the first loop. How does the work done compare in the two cases ?
Charges $+q$ and $-q$ are placed at points $A$ and $B$ respectively which are a distance $2\,L$ apart, $C$ is the midpoint between $A$ and $B.$ The work done in moving a charge $+Q$ along the semicircle $CRD$ is
In the electric field of a point charge $q$, a certain charge is carried from point $A$ to $B, C, D$ and $E$. Then the work done
If one of the two electrons of a $H _{2}$ molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion $H _{2}^{+}$. In the ground state of an $H _{2}^{+}$, the two protons are separated by roughly $1.5\;\mathring A,$ and the electron is roughly $1 \;\mathring A$ from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy.
