In moving from $$A$$ to $$B$$ along an electric field line, the work done by the electric field on an electron is $$6.4 \times {10^{ - 19}}J.$$ If $${\phi _1}$$ and $${\phi _2}$$ are equipotential surfaces, then the potential difference $${V_C} - {V_A}$$ is
The electron has negative charge. When an electron is brought towards another electron, then due to same negative charges repulsive force is produced between them. So, to bring them closer a work is done against this repulsive force. This work is stored in the form of electrostatic potential energy. Thus, electrostatic potential energy of system increases. Alternative
Electrostatic potential energy of system of two electrons $$U = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{\left( { - e} \right)\left( { - e} \right)}}{r}$$
$$ = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{{e^2}}}{r}$$
Thus, as $$r$$ decreases, potential energy $$U$$ increases.

Four identical particles each of mass $$m$$ and charge $$q$$ are kept at the four corners of a square of length $$L.$$ The final velocity of these particles after setting them free will be
A
$${\left[ {\frac{{K{q^2}}}{{mL}}\left( {5.4} \right)} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
B
$${\left[ {\frac{{K{q^2}}}{{mL}}\left( {1.35} \right)} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
C
$${\left[ {\frac{{K{q^2}}}{{mL}}\left( {2.7} \right)} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}}$$
Potential energy of the system
$$ = 4 \times \frac{K}{2}\left( {\frac{{{q^2}}}{L} + \frac{{{q^2}}}{L} + \frac{{{q^2}}}{{L\sqrt 2 }}} \right) = 5.4\frac{{K{q^2}}}{L}$$
= Final kinetic energy of the system
$$\eqalign{
& = 4 \times \frac{1}{2}m{v^2} = 2\,m{v^2} \cr
& \therefore v = {\left[ {\frac{{K{q^2}}}{{mL}}\left( {2.7} \right)} \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cr} $$

A cube of a metal is given a positive charge $$Q.$$ For this system, which of the following statements is true?
A
Electric potential at the surface of the cube is zero
B
Electric potential within the cube is zero
C
Electric field is normal to the surface of the cube
Let charge on each sphere $$= q$$
when they are connected together their potential will be equal.
Now let charge on $$a = {q_1}$$ and $$b = 2q - {q_1}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {V_a} = {V_b}\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{{q_1}}}{a} = \frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{2q - {q_1}}}{b} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{q_1}}}{{2q - {q_1}}} = \frac{a}{b} \cr
& \frac{{{E_a}}}{{{E_b}}} = \frac{{\frac{{1}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{{q_1}}}{{{a^2}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}\frac{{{q_2}}}{{{b^2}}}}} = \left( {\frac{{{q_1}}}{{2q - {q_1}}}} \right)\frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}} \cr
& = \frac{a}{b}.\frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = \frac{b}{a} = b:a \cr} $$

The 1000 small droplets of water each of radius $$r$$ and charge $$Q,$$ make a big drop of spherical shape. The potential of big drop is how many times the potential of one small droplet ?
Volume of big drop $$ = 1000 \times {\text{volume}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{each}}\,{\text{small}}\,{\text{drop}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} = 1000 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} \Rightarrow R = 10r \cr
& \because V = \frac{{kq}}{r}\,{\text{and}}\,V' = \frac{{kq}}{R} \times 1000 \cr} $$
Total charge on one small droplet is $$q$$ and on the big drop is $$1000\,q.$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \frac{{V'}}{V} = \frac{{1000r}}{R} = \frac{{1000}}{{10}} = 100 \cr
& \therefore V' = 100\,V \cr} $$

Four point charges $$ - Q, - q,2q$$ and $$2Q$$ are placed, one at each corner of the square. The relation between $$Q$$ and $$q$$ for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero, is
As, shown in figure
If potential at centre is zero, then $${V_1} + {V_2} + {V_3} + {V_4} = 0$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow - \frac{{kQ}}{r} - \frac{{kq}}{r} + \frac{{k2Q}}{r} + \frac{{k2q}}{r} = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow - Q - q + 2q + 2Q = 0 \cr
& \therefore Q = - q \cr} $$

A ball of mass $$1\,g$$ carrying a charge $${10^{ - 8}}C$$ moves from a point $$A$$ at potential $$600\,V$$ to a point $$B$$ at zero potential. The change in its K.E. is
As work is done by the field, $$K.E.$$ of the body increases by
$$\eqalign{
& K.E. = W = q\left( {{V_A} - {V_B}} \right) \cr
& = {10^{ - 8}}\left( {600 - 0} \right) \cr
& = 6 \times {10^{ - 6}}\,J \cr} $$

If potential (in volts) in a region is expressed as $$V\left( {x,y,z} \right) = 6xy - y + 2yz,$$ electric field (in $$N/C$$ ) at point $$\left( {1,1,0} \right)$$ is
A
$$ - \left( {3\hat i + 5\hat j + 3\hat k} \right)$$
B
$$ - \left( {6\hat i + 5\hat j + 2\hat k} \right)$$
C
$$ - \left( {2\hat i + 3\hat j + \hat k} \right)$$
D
$$ - \left( {6\hat i + 9\hat j + \hat k} \right)$$
Given, potential in a region, $$V = 6xy - y + 2yz.$$
Electric field in a region, $$E = - \frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial x}}\hat i - \frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial y}}\hat j - \frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial z}}\hat k$$
$$ \Rightarrow E = - 6y\hat i - \left( {6x - 1} \right)\hat j - 2y\hat k$$
At, $$\left( {1,1,0} \right),$$ electric field can be expressed,
$$\eqalign{
& E = - \left( {6 \times 1\hat i} \right) - \left( {6 \times 1 - 1} \right)\hat j - 2 \times 1.\hat k \cr
& = - \left( {6\hat i + 5\hat j + 2\hat k} \right)N/C \cr} $$
