Questions  

A two point charges 4q and  q are fixed on the x-axis at  x=d2 and  x=d2, respectively. If a third point charge ‘q’ is taken from the origin to x = d along the semicircle as shown in the figure, the energy of the charge will :

a
increase by 3q24π∈0d
b
decrease by  q24π∈0d
c
decrease by 4q23π∈0d
d
increase by  2q23π∈0d

detailed solution

Correct option is C

The change is only due to 4qCharge q distance from  "−q" is not changing.So Δ U=4qq4π∈013d/2−1d/2 =−4q23π∈0d
