Define the term potential energy of charge q at a distance r in an external electric dipole ?

Give expression for 'potential energy' of charge 'q' at a distance 'r' in an external electric filed ?

(A)Two point charges q_1 and q_2 are kept r distance apart in a uniform external electric field vecE . Find the amount of work done in assembling this system of charges. (B) A cube of side 20 cm is kept in a region as shown in the figure. An electric field vecE exists in the region such that the potential at a point is given by V = 10x + 5 , where V is in volt and x is in m. Find the electric field vecE and (ii) total electric flux through the cube.

Potential Energy Of A System Of Two Charges In An External Field

Assertion: Electric potential on the surface of a charged sphere of radius R is V. Then electric field at distance r=R/2 from centre is V/(2R) . Charge is distributed uniformly over the volume. Reason: From centre to surface, electric field varies linearly with r. Here r is distance from centre.

If the potential at the center of a uniformly charged sphere of radius R is V then electric field at a distance r from the center of sphere will be ( r lt R ) : -

Electric potential energy V between two charges varies with distance (r) between them as

Find the expression of torque acting on an electric dipole placed in a uniform electric field . Using the above obtained expression of torque find the expression for potential energy of electric dipole kept in the uniform electric field . Assume potential energy of electric dipole to be zero when its axis is perpendicular to the externally applied electric field .
