A system of two charges separated by a certain distance apart stores electrical potential energy. If the distance between them is increased, the potential energy of the system,


Important Questions on Electrostatics
Figure shows some of the electric field lines corresponding to an electric field. The figure suggests that,

A small point mass carrying some positive charge on it, is released from the edge of a table. There is a uniform electric field in this region in the horizontal direction. Which of the following options then correctly describe the trajectory of the mass ? (Curves are drawn schematically and are not to scale)




Figure shows a charged conductor resting on an insulating stand. If at the point the charge density is , the potential is and the electric field strength is , what are the values of these quantities at point ?

A hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at as shown in figure. Let be the potentials at points and , respectively. Then

A spherical conductor is placed concentrically inside a hollow spherical conductor . The charge is given to and is earthed. Then the electric field is not zero
