Three charges, each \(+q\), are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle \(ABC\) of sides \(BC\), \(AC\), and \(AB\). \(D\) and \(E\) are the mid-points of \(BC\) and \(CA\). The work done in taking a charge \(Q\) from \(D\) to \(E\) is:
1. | \(\frac{3qQ}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) | 2. | \(\frac{3qQ}{8\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) |
3. | \(\frac{qQ}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a}\) | 4. | \(\text{zero}\) |
1. | \(8\) along the negative \(X\text-\)axis |
2. | \(8\) along the positive \(X\text-\)axis |
3. | \(16\) along the negative \(X\text-\)axis |
4. | \(16\) along the positive \(X\text-\)axis |
1. | increase. | 2. | decrease. |
3. | remain the same. | 4. | become zero. |
A parallel plate capacitor has a uniform electric field \(E\) in the space between the plates. If the distance between the plates is \(d\) and the area of each plate is \(A,\) the energy stored in the capacitor is:

2. \(\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0E^2 Ad\)
3. \(\varepsilon_0EAd\)
4. \(\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0E^2 \)
Two metallic spheres of radii \(1~\text{cm}\) and \(3~\text{cm}\) are given charges of \(-1\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\) and \(5\times 10^{-2} ~\text{C}\), respectively. If these are connected by a conducting wire, then the final charge on the bigger sphere is:
1. \(3\times 10^{-2}~ \text{C}\)
2. \(4\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
3. \(1\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
4. \(2\times 10^{-2}~\text{C}\)
