Physics · JEE | Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

हिन्दी

A test charge \( q \) is moved slowly from point \( \text{R} \) to point \( \text{P} \) against a repulsive electrostatic force due to a source charge \( Q > 0 \) placed at the origin. If the work done by the external force is \( W_{RP} \), the potential energy difference \( \Delta U = U_P - U_R \) is given by:

  1. A
    \( -W_{RP} \)
  2. B
    \( \frac{1}{2} W_{RP} \)
  3. C
    \( W_{RP} \)
  4. D
    \( 2W_{RP} \)
View Answer & Solution

Correct answer · Option C

\( W_{RP} \)

Explanation

The potential energy difference between two points is defined as the work done by an external force in moving the test charge from R to P without acceleration, hence \( \Delta U = U_P - U_R = W_{RP} \).
