Sol. (a) The Electric field is along x-direction
Thus potential difference between (0, 0) and (4, 2) is,
δV = –E × δx = – 20 × (40) = – 80 V
Potential energy (U base B – U base A) between the points = δV × q
= – 80 × (–2) × 10^–4 = 160 × 10^–4 = 0.016 J.
(b) A = (4m, 2m) B = (6m, 5m)
δV = – E × δx = – 20 × 2 = – 40 V
Potential energy (UB – UA) between the points = δV × q
= – 40 × (–2 × 10^–4) = 80 × 10^–4 = 0.008 J
(c) A = (0, 0) B = (6m, 5m)
δV = – E × δx = – 20 × 6 = – 120 V
Potential energy (U base B – U base A) between the points A and B
= δV × q = – 120 × (–2 × 10^–4) = 240 × 10^–4 = 0.024 J
