Find out the amount of the work done to separate the charges at infinite distance.
उत्तर
The amount work done to separate the charges at infinity will be equal to potential energy.
Potential energy of the system U = `U_(q.2q) + U_(q-4q) + U_(2q-4q)`
`U = (kq(2q))/l + (kq(-4q))/l + (k2q(-4q))/l = (-10kq^2)/l`
Thus work done to seperate them to infinity W = U = `(-10kq^2)/l`

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
