As shown in the figure,charges $+q$ and $-q$ are placed at the vertices $B$ and $C$ of an isosceles triangle. The potential at the vertex $A$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{2q}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$
  • B
    Zero
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \cdot \frac{-q}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

Consider a fixed uniformly charged insulating sphere with radius $R$ and total charge $+Q$. $A$ point charge $-q$ $(q \ll Q)$ with mass $m$ is released from rest at a distance of $3R$ from the centre of the charged sphere. When the point charge reaches the surface of the sphere, its speed is:
($\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum, neglect gravitational forces).

Assertion: Electrons move away from a region of higher potential to a region of lower potential.
Reason: An electron has a negative charge.
