Two negative charges,each of magnitude $q$,are separated by a distance of $2r$. $A$ positive charge $q$ is placed at their center. The potential energy of the system is $U_1$. If the two negative charges are interchanged with the positive charge such that the new potential energy is $U_2$,what is the ratio $U_1/U_2$?

The electric potential at a distance of $3 \, m$ on the axis of a short dipole of dipole moment $4 \times 10^{-12} \, C \cdot m$ is ......... $mV$.

Two point charges $q_1 = 6 \mu\text{C}$ and $q_2 = 4 \mu\text{C}$ are kept at points $A$ and $B$ in air where distance $AB = 10 \text{cm}$. What is the increase in potential energy of the system when $q_2$ is moved towards $q_1$ by $2 \text{cm}$? $(\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{SI units})$

Two charges ${q_1}$ and ${q_2}$ are placed $30\,cm$ apart,as shown in the figure. $A$ third charge ${q_3}$ is moved along the arc of a circle of radius $40\,cm$ from $C$ to $D$. The change in the potential energy of the system is $\frac{{{q_3}}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}}}k$,where $k$ is:
