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:

  • A
    $8\,{q_2}$
  • B
    $8\,{q_1}$
  • C
    $6\,{q_2}$
  • D
    $6\,{q_1}$

The distance between $H^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions in an $HCl$ molecule is $1.28 \, \mathring{A}$. What will be the electric potential due to this dipole at a distance of $12 \, \mathring{A}$ on the axis of the dipole (in $, V$)?

Two equal charges $q$ of opposite sign separated by a distance $2a$ constitute an electric dipole of dipole moment $p$. If $P$ is a point at a distance $r$ from the centre of the dipole and the line joining the centre of the dipole to this point makes an angle $\theta$ with the axis of the dipole,then the potential at $P$ is given by $(r \gg 2a)$ (where $p = 2qa$).
