The displacement of a charge $Q$ in the electric field $\vec{E} = e_1 \hat{i} + e_2 \hat{j} + e_3 \hat{k}$ is $\vec{r} = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j}$. The work done by the electric field is:

  • A
    $Q (ae_1 + be_2)$
  • B
    $Q \sqrt{(ae_1)^2 + (be_2)^2}$
  • C
    $Q(e_1 + e_2) \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
  • D
    $Q (\sqrt{e_1^2 + e_2^2}) (a + b)$

$A$ point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to point $S$ along the path $PQRS$ (as shown in the figure) in a uniform electric field $E$ pointing parallel to the positive direction of the $X$-axis. The coordinates of the points $P, Q, R,$ and $S$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0),$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression:

Two point charges $100\,\mu C$ and $5\,\mu C$ are placed at points $A$ and $B$ respectively,with $AB = 40\,cm$. Calculate the work done by an external force in displacing the charge $5\,\mu C$ from $B$ to $C$,where $BC = 30\,cm$ and $\angle ABC = \frac{\pi}{2}$. Given $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2/C^2$.
