Problems Based on Potential Energy DPP-03

1. In the electric field of charge Q, another charge is carried from A to B, A to C, A to D and A to E, then
work done will be :-

(1) minimum along the path AB


(2) minimum along the path AD
(3) minimum along the path AE
(4) zero along each path

2. As shown in figure, on bringing a charge Q from point A to B and from B to C, the work done are 2 joules
and – 3 joules respectively. The work done in bringing the charge from C to A will be

(1) –1 joule
(2) 1 joule
(3) 2 joule
(4) 5 joule

3. 15 joule of work has to be done against an existing electric field to take a charge of 0.01 C from A to B.
Then the potential difference (VB – VA) is :–
(1) 1500 volt
(2) – 1500 volt
(3) 0.15 volt
(4) none of these
4. A 5C charge experiences a force of 2000 N when moved between two points along the field separated
by a distance of 2 cm in a uniform electric field. The potential difference between the two points is :–
(1) 8 volt
(2) 80 volt
(3) 800 volt
(4) 8000 volt
5. A charge of 5C experiences a force of 5000 N when it is kept in a uniform electric field. What is the
potential difference between two points separated by a distance of 1cm
(1) 10V
(2) 250V
(3) 1000V
(4) 2500V

Answer 4 2 1 1 1 1 1

SOLUTIONS DPP-03
1. (4)
Points A, B, C, D & E are equipotential.

2. (2)
For conservative electrostatic field,
WAB + WBC + WCA = 0
 2 + (–3) + WCA = 0
 WCA = 1 J

3. (1)
WA→B = q(VB − VA )
 15 = 0.01(VB – VA)
 VB – VA = 1500 V

4. (1)
W = q  V
2
 2000  = 5V
100
 V = 8 volt

5. (1)
F 5000
E= = = 1000 N/C
q 5
V = E  d

 1000 × = 10 V

6. (1)

 W = qV = 0

7. (1)
W = qV
q3  1 q2 1 q2 
 k = q3  − 
40  40 0.1 40 0.5 
 k = 10q2 – 2q2
 k = 8q2
