JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
Two charges \(\mathrm{q}_1\) and \(\mathrm{q}_2\) are separated by a distance of 30 cm. A third charge \(q_3\) initially at ' C ' as shown in the figure, is moved along the circular path of radius 40 cm from C to D. If the difference in potential energy due to movement of \(q_3\) from \(C\) to \(D\) is given by \(\frac{\mathrm{q}_3 \mathrm{~K}}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}\), the value of K is :

- A \(8 \mathrm{q}_2\)
- B \(6 \mathrm{q}_2\)
- C \(8 q_1\)
- D \(6 \mathrm{q}_1\)

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: An object moves from position \( r_{1} \) to position \( r_{2} \) under a conservative force field \( \vec{F} \). The work done by the force is \( W=-\int_{r_{1}}^{r_{2}}\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{r} \).
Statement II Any object moving from one location to another location can follow infinite number of paths. Therefore, the amount of work done by the object changes with the path it follows for a conservative force.
