Two charges +Q each are fixed at points C and D. Line AB is the bisector line of CD. A third charge +q is moved from A to B , then from B to C .
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
B, C
Solution:
On the perpendicular bisector AB the potential of the two equal charges is , which increases as the charge moves from A towards the midpoint B.
So from A to B the electrostatic potential energy of +q increases - statement (B) is correct and (A) is wrong.
From B to C the charge +q moves towards the fixed +Q at C, where the potential rises sharply, so the potential energy again increases - statement (C) is correct and (D) is wrong.
