A point charge 2 × 10 – 2 C is moved from P to S in a uniform electric field of 30 N C – 1 directed along positive x -axis. If coordinates of P and S are ( 1 , 2 , 0 ) m and ( 0 , 0 , 0 ) m respectively, the work done by electric field will be
Options
- A1200   mJ
- B600   mJ
- C- 600   mJ
- D- 1200   mJ
Correct answer
C. - 600   mJ
Step-by-step solution
As electric field is uniform, so force acting on the charged particle will be uniform. Therefore, W E = F → · s → = q E → · s → = 2 × 10 - 2 30 i ^ · 0 i ^ + 0 j ^ + 0 k ^ - i ^ + 2 j ^ + 0 k ^ = - 60 × 10 - 2   J = - 600   mJ
