2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

A square of side ‘$a$’ has charge $Q$ at its centre and charge ‘$q$’ at one of the corners. The work required to be done in moving the charge ‘$q$’ from the corner to the diagonally opposite corner is

A

Zero

B

$\frac{{Qq}}{{4\pi { \in _0}a}}$

C

$\frac{{Qq\sqrt 2 }}{{4\pi { \in _0}a}}$

D

$\frac{{Qq}}{{2\pi { \in _0}a}}$

Solution

(a) From symmetry of the figure all corner have same electric potential. Therefore work done in moving the charge $q$ from the corner to the diagonally opposite corner is zero.
