  • question_answer
    If a system consists of two charges 4 mC and -3 mC with no external field placed at (-5 cm, 0, 0) and (5 cm, 0, 0) respectively. The amount of work required to separate the two charges infinitely away from each other is:

    A) -1.1 J

    B) 2 J

    C) 2.5 J

    D) 3 J

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) -1.1 J \[U=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{{{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}}}{r}\] \[=\frac{9\times {{10}^{9}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-6}}\times \left( -3 \right)\times {{10}^{-6}}}{0.1}=-1.1J\]
