Ramu and Raju are dragging water in a bucket from the wells A and B respectively. Ramu dragged three buckets of water within 5 minutes but Raju could not do for the short interval of time. He could take only two buckets of water in 7 minutes. What do you inter from this Incidence.
What is the Expression for Work or Energy ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From the incident, it is known that Ramu has got more power than Raju. Because Ramu dragged (lifted) 3 buckets within 5 minutes So he had done more work in a short interval of time, but Raju did not do it. According to definition of power, rate at which work is done, is power for shorter period of time, if work done is more, then power is also more.
The capacity to de a work is called Energy, Ramu has got more energy than Raju.
Work = Energy = Force `xx` displacement

a. Determine the electrostatic potential energy of a system consisting of two charges 7 muC and -2muC (and with no external field) placed at (-9 cm, 0,0) and (9 cm, 0, 0) respectively. b. How much work is required to separate the two charges infinitely away from each other? c. Suppose that the same system of charges is now placed in an external electric field E=A (1/r^(2)) , A =9 xx 10^(5) Cm^(-2) . What would the electrostatic energy of the configuration be?
