Question:

A charge of 2 µC is brought from B to C along the path as shown by arrow in the figure. The work done is

Options:

0.75 J

0.6 J

0.06 J

0.075 J

Correct Answer:

0.075 J

Explanation:

W = $\frac{q_1 q_2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left[\frac{1}{r_f}-\frac{1}{r_i}\right]$

$=10 \times 2 \times 10^{-12} \times 9 \times 10^9\left[\frac{1}{0.6}-\frac{1}{0.8}\right]$

= 0.075 J
