`ABC` is a right - angled triangle, where `AB and BC` are `25 cm and 60 cm`, respectively. A metal sphere of `2 cm` radius charged to a potential of `9 xx 10^5 V` is placed at `B` as in (Fig. 3.133). Find the amount of work done in carrying a positive charge of 1 coulomb from C to A.
.

A

21 k J

B

42 k J

C

14 k J

D

52 k J

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

Find the potential at `A and C` due to charge at `B`, then the required work done is `W = q(V_A - V_c)`.
