" Electric field intensity due to a point charge " "q" ' at a distance 'r' from it is "

A positive point charge q is carried from a point B to a point A in the electric field of a point charge +Q at O. If the permittivity of free space is epsi_0 , the work done in the process is given by (where a = OA and b = OB ) -

A charge is moved in an electric field of a fixed charge distribution from point A to another point B slowly. The work done by external agent in doing so is 100J . What is the change in potential energy of the charge as it moves from A to B ? What is the work done by the electric field of the charge distribution as the charge moves from A to B ?

Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? If the electric field due to a point charge varies as r^(-2.5) instead of r^(-2),then the Gauss law will still be valid. The Gauss law can be used to calculate the field distribution around an electric dipole. If he electric field between two point charges is zero somewhere,then the sign of the two charges is the same. The work done by the external force is moving a unit positive charge from point A at potential "V_(A)" to point B at potential "V_(B)" is,(V_(B)-V_(A))

In an uniform electric field of strength E, a charge particle Q moves point A to point B in the direction of the field and back from B to A. Calculate the ratio of the work done by the electric field in taking the charge particle from A to B and from B to A.
