JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

A point charge \(2 \times 10^{-2}\,C\) is moved from \(P\) to \(S\) in a uniform electric field of \(30\,NC ^{-1}\) 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 \(.........\,mJ\)

  1. A \(1200\)
  2. B \(600\)
  3. C \(-600\)
  4. D \(-1200\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega_{ E }= q \overrightarrow{ E } \cdot \overrightarrow{ S }\) \(=2 \times 10^{-2}[30 \hat{ i } \cdot(-\hat{ i })]\) \(=2 \times 10^{-2}(-30)\) \(=-60 \times 10^{-2}\) \(=-\frac{60}{100}=-0.6\,J\) \(=-600\,mJ\)
