Charge $Q$ is given a displacement $\vec r = a\hat i + b\hat j$ in an electric field $\vec E = E_1\hat i + E_2\hat j$ . The work done is
$Q({E_1}a + {E_2}b)$
$Q\sqrt {{{({E_1}a)}^2} + {{({E_2}b)}^2}} $
$Q({E_1} + {E_2})\sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} $
$Q\sqrt {({E_1}^2 + {E_2}^2)} \sqrt {{a^2} + {b^2}} $
A particle $A$ has charge $ + q$ and a particle $B$ has charge $ + \,4q$ 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 speed $\frac{{{v_A}}}{{{v_B}}}$ will become
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 ?
A block of mass $m$ containing a net negative charge $-q$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal table and is connected to a wall through an unstretched spring of spring constant $k$ as shown. If horizontal electric field $E$ parallel to the spring is switched on, then the maximum compression of the spring is :-
Why gravitational forces or spring forces are conservative forces ?
A point charge is surrounded symmetrically by six identical charges at distance $r$ as shown in the figure. How much work is done by the forces of electrostatic repulsion when the point charge $q$ at the centre is removed at infinity
