What is the amount of work done in moving a point charge `q_0` around a circular arc of radius 'r' at the centre of which another point charge q is located ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Work done is zero because electric potential at all points of the circular arc is same `[V = q/(4pi epsi_0r)]`.

What is the amount of work done in moving a point charge around a circular arc of radius r at the centre of which another point charge is located?

The work done in carrying a charge q once round a circle of radius r with a charge Q at the centre is

The work done in carrying a charge Q_(1) once round a circle of radius R with a charge Q_(2) at the centre is

There is a ball of radius r having uniformly distributed volume charge Q on it and there is a spherical shell of radius r having uniformly distributed surface charge Q on it. The two spheres are far apart. (a) A point charge q is moved slowly from the centre of the shell (through a small hole in it.) to the centre of the ball. Find work done by the external agent in the process. (b) The two spheres are brought closer so that their centers are separated by 4r. Now calculate the amount of work needed in slowly moving a point charge q from the centre of the shell to the centre of the ball. Assume that charge on one ball does not alter the charge distribution of the other. Does your answers in (a) and (b) differ? Why?
