SATHEE: Electrostatics Question 659

Electrostatics Question 659

Question: Two point charges $100 μ C$ and $5 μ C$ are placed at points $A$ and $B$ respectively with $A B$ = 40 cm. The work done by external force in displacing the charge 5 $μ C$ from $B$ to $C$ , where $B C$ = 30 cm, angle $A B C$ = $π / 2$ and $1 / 4 π ε_{0} = 9 \times 10^{9} N m^{2} / C^{2}$

Options:

A) $9 J$

B) $\frac{81}{20} J$

C) $\frac{9}{25} J$

D) $- \frac{9}{4} J$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Work done in displacing charge of 5 $μ C$ from B to C is $W = 5 \times 10^{- 6} (V_{C} - V_{B})$

$V_{B} = 9 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{100 \times 10^{- 6}}{0.4} = \frac{9}{4} \times 10^{6} V$ And $V_{C} = 9 \times 10^{9} \times \frac{100 \times 10^{- 6}}{0.4} = \frac{9}{5} \times 10^{6} V$

So $W = 5 \times 10^{- 6} \times (\frac{9}{5} \times 10^{6} - \frac{9}{4} \times 10^{6}) = - \frac{9}{4} J$
