Explanation 1) Concept Work done by an external agent to move a particle of charge through an electric field is equal to the potential energy of the system. 2) Formulae i. Electric potential energy is U = q V ii. Electric potential at a point due to a point charge q V = k q r Where k- 1 4 π ε o c a l l e d Coulomb’s constant which is equal to 8.99 x 10 9 N . m 2 C 2 r- is the distance of the point from the charge iii. For two particles at separation r , the potential energy is U= k q 1 q 2 r 3) Given Charge on particle 1, q 1 =-2e Charge on particle 2, q 2 =+2e Charge on particle 3, q 3 =+2e Distance of point P from particle 1, d 1 =4.00 m Distance of point P from particle 1, d 2 =2.00 m V=0 at infinity 4) Calculations (d) Applying superposition of potential, we get Potential at point P V P = 2 e 4 π ε 0 d + - 2 e 4 π ε 0 2 d = e 4 π ε 0 d Where e= 1.6 × 1 0 - 19 C Plugging all the values gives us V P = ( 8.99 × 1 0 9 N . m 2 / C 2 ) ( 1.6 × 1 0 - 19 C ) 2.00 m = 7.192 × 1 0 - 10 V V at P is 7.192 × 1 0 - 10 V (b) Since movable particle's contribution of the potential energy when it is infinity is zero, and its contribution to U system when it is at P is, U = q V P Work done, W = U system Plugging the values of q and V P U = 2 1
