A two point charges 4q and –q are fixed on the x-axis at x = −d/2 and x = d/2, respectively. If a third point charge ' q ' is taken from the origin to x = d along the semicircle as shown in the figure, the energy of the charge will:
A two point charges 4q and –q are fixed on the x-axis at x = −d/2 and x = d/2, respectively. If a third point charge ' q ' is taken from the origin to x = d along the semicircle as shown in the figure, the energy of the charge will:
Uinitial = k(4q)(q)/(d/2) + k(q)(-q)/(d/2)
⇒ 6kq²/d
⇒ Ufinal = k(4q)(q)/((3d/2)) + k(q)(-q)/(d/2)
⇒ 2kq²/3d
⇒ ΔU = (2/3 - 6)kq²/d = -16kq²/3d

<p><strong>Two small spherical balls of mass 10 g each with charges -2μC and 2μC, are attached to two ends of very light rigid rod of length 20 cm. The arrangement is now placed near an infinite nonconducting charge sheet with uniform charge density of 100μC/m² such that length of rod makes an angle of 30° with electric field generated by charge sheet. Net torque acting on the rod is: (Take ε? = 8.85 × 10?¹²C²/Nm²)</strong><br><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br><!--[endif]--></p>

According to Question, we can write
E = λ/ (2πε? r) ⇒ σ = ε? E = λ/ (2πr)
⇒ σ = 8×10? / (2×3.14×3) = 0.424 nCm? ²
