Two charges and are placed apart, shown in the figure. A third charge is moved along the arc of a circle of radius from to . The change in the potential energy of the system is , where is



Important Questions on Electric Potential


In the figure shown the electric potential energy of the system is ( is at the centre of the conducting neutral spherical shell of inner radius and outer radius )

A point charge is placed at the centre of a spherical cavity of radius carved inside a solid conducting sphere of radius . Then the total energy of the system is

Four charges are fixed along the -axis as shown. A positive charge approaches the system along the -axis with initial speed just enough to cross the origin. Then its total energy at the origin is

Three charges and are placed at the vertices of a right-angled triangle (isosceles triangle) as shown. The net electrostatic energy of the configuration is
