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

  • question_answer
    Two points A and B are located in diametrically opposite directions of a point charge \[+2\mu C\]at distances 2 m and 1 m respectively from it. The potential difference between A and S is:

    A) \[3\times {{10}^{3}}V\]                       

    B) \[6\times {{10}^{4}}V\]

    C) \[-9\times {{10}^{3}}V\]                      

    D) \[-3\times {{10}^{3}}V\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c) \[-9\times {{10}^{3}}V\] Here, \[q=2\mu C=2\times {{10}^{-6}}C,\,{{r}_{A}}=2\,m,\,{{r}_{B}}=1m\] \[\therefore \,\,\,{{V}_{A}}-{{V}_{B}}=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\left[ \frac{1}{{{r}_{A}}}-\frac{1}{{{r}_{B}}} \right]\] \[=2\times {{10}^{-6}}\times 9\times {{10}^{9}}\left[ \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{1} \right]V\] \[=-9\times {{10}^{3}}V\]
