Two charges q1 and q2 are placed 30 cm apart, as shown in Fig. 2.135. A third charge q3 is moved along the arc of a circle of radius 40 cm from C to D. The change in the potential energy I of the system is q34πε0k, where k is :

a
8q2
b
6q2
c
8q1
d
6q1

detailed solution

Correct option is A

U1=14πε0q1q3(0.4)+q1q2(0.3)+q2q3(0.5) U2=14πε0q1q3(0.4)+q1q2(0.3)+q2q3(0.1)⇒∆U=U2-U1=14πε0q2q310.1-10.5                               =q34πε0(8q2)⇒k=8q2
