We know that potential energy of two charge system is given by
U = 1 = q1q2 4πε0 r
According to question, UA = 1 (+q)(-Q) = - 1 Qq 4πε0 a 4πε0 a and UB = 1 (+q)(-Q) = - 1 Qq 4πε0 a 4πε0 a
∆U = UB – UA = 0
We know that for conservative force,
W = –∆U = 0Correct Option: A

qV = 1 mv² 2 ⇒ 2 × 10-6 × V = 1 × 2 × 10 × 10 2 1000
∴ V = 50 kVCorrect Option: C
qV = 1 mv² 2 ⇒ 2 × 10-6 × V = 1 × 2 × 10 × 10 2 1000
∴ V = 50 kV
