Two point charges of 1 nC and 2 nC are placed at the two corners of equilateral triangle of side 3 cm. The work done in bringing a charge of 3 nC from infinity to the third corner of the triangle is .
Options
- A27
- B5.4
- C2.7
- D3.3
Correct answer
C. 2.7
Step-by-step solution
Two point charges of 1 nC and 2 nC are placed at two corners of an equilateral triangle with side 3 cm. The work done in bringing a 3 nC charge from infinity to the third corner equals the charge times the potential at that point.
Both source charges are at distance 0.03 m from the third corner.
The potential due to the 1 nC charge is V
and due to the 2 nC charge is V.
Total potential: V
Work done: J = 2.7 μJ
