The figure shows equipotential surfaces for a two charges system. At which of the labeled points will an electron have the highest potential energy?




Important Questions on Electric Potential
Two large identical plates are placed in front of each other at and as shown in the figure. If charges on plates are and , the potential versus distance graph for region to is ( is very small and potential at is

An electric dipole of dipole moment is oriented parallel to a uniform electric field , as shown. It is rotated to one of the four orientations shown below. Rank the final orientations according to the change in the potential energy of the dipole-field system, most negative to most positive.


The figure shows the potential due to two similarly charged infinite sheets with charge per unit area and . From examining this plot we can deduce that

Find the ratio of electric work done in bringing a charge from to and then from to in a sphere of charge distributed uniformly throughout its volume.


An electron travelling in a uniform electric field passes from a region of potential to a region of higher potential . Then

A conducting sphere of radius and a concentric thick spherical shell of inner radius and outer radius is shown in the figure. A charge is given to the shell and the inner sphere is earthed. Then charge on the inner sphere is:
