As shown in figure below, a charge \(+2 \mathrm{C}\) is situated at the origin \(O\) and another charge \(+5 \mathrm{C}\) is on the \(x\) -axis at the point \(A .\) The later charge from the point \(A\) is then brought to a point \(B\) on the \(y\) -axis. The work done is \(\left(\right.\) given \(\left.\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{F}\right)\) 
- A \(45 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{J}\)
- B \(90 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{J}\)
- C zero
- D \(-45 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{J}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Work done \(=U_{f}-U_{i}\) \[ =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \times 2 \times 5 \times\left(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\right)=0 \]
