Question:medium

Two charges \( +q \) and \( -q \) are placed at points \( A \) and \( B \) respectively which are at a distance \( 2L \) apart. \( C \) is the midpoint of \( AB \). The work done in moving a charge \( +Q \) along the semicircle CSD (\( W_1 \)) and along the line CBD (\( W_2 \)) are 

Show Hint

Electrostatics: Work is path-independent. Use potential difference.

  • \( -\frac{qQ}{6\pi\varepsilon_0 L},\; \frac{qQ}{6\pi\varepsilon_0 L} \)
  • \( \frac{qQ}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 L},\; -\frac{qQ}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 L} \)
  • \( -\frac{qQ}{6\pi\varepsilon_0 L},\; -\frac{qQ}{12\pi\varepsilon_0 L} \)
  • \( \frac{qQ}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 L},\; 0 \)
