प्रश्न
Figure shows the field lines due to a positive point charge. Give the sign of potential energy difference of a small negative charge between the points Q and P.
उत्तर
The electric potential at a point distant r due to the field created by a positive charge Q is given by
\[v = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}\]
Since rQ > rP, we have:
VQ < VP
∴ The potential energy difference VP − VQ is positive between Q and P.

In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K1 is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q1′ and Q2′ as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.]
Then
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ = Q2′
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ + Q2′ = Q
Calculate potential energy of a point charge – q placed along the axis due to a charge +Q uniformly distributed along a ring of radius R.
