12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Case Based (MCQs) - Electric Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    The work done in carrying a charge q once round a circle of radius a with a charge Q at its centre is

    A) \[\frac{qQ}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}a}\]

    B) \[\frac{qQ}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{a}^{2}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}a}\]

    D) zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The electrical potential at any point on circle of radius a due to charge Q at its centre is\[V=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{Q}{a}\]. It is an equipotential surface. Hence, work done in carrying a charge q round the circle is zero.
