$A$ charge $q$ is fired towards another charged particle $Q$,which is fixed,with a speed $v$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be

  • A
    $r$
  • B
    $2r$
  • C
    $\frac{r}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{r}{4}$

$A$ 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:
