PHYSICS ASSIGNMENT

CH-2 ELECTROSTATIC POTENTIAL AND CAPACITANCE

Q.1 If a point charge is taken from A to C and then from C to B on a circle drawn with another point
charge +Q placed at its centre. Then along which path more work will be done.

Q.2 The figure shows the field lines of a positive point charge. What will be the sign of the potential
energy difference of a small negative charge between the points Q and P? Justify

Q.3 A uniform electric field exists between two charged plates as shown in the figure. What should be
the work done in moving a charge Q along the closed path ABCDA?
Q.4 What would be the work done if a charge +q is taken from point A to B on the circumference of a
circle drawn with point charge +Q at its centre?

Q.5 Depict the equipotential surfaces due to

(i) An electric dipole

(ii) Two identical positive charge

Q.6 Obtain the expression for electric potential due to dipole at a point on its axis

Q.7 Derive an expression for electric potential due to an dipole at a point on its equator

Q.8 defines electrostatic potential on a point. Write its SI unit. Three point charges q1, q2, q3 are
kept respectively at point A, B, C. Derive the electrostatic potential of the system.

Q.9 Obtain the expression for the work done to dissociate the system of three charges placed at the
vertices of an equilateral triangle of side “A” as shown below.
