A particle $A$ has charge $+q$ and particle $B$ has charge $+ 4q$ with each of them having the same mass $m$. When allowed to fall from rest through same electrical  potential difference, the ratio of their speed $V_A : V_B$ will be :-

Acceleration $=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Mass }}$

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{q E}{m}$

$a_{A}=\frac{1}{4} a_{B}$

Now $v^{2}=u^{2}+2 a x$

since, $x$ is the same for both the particles.

$\Rightarrow \quad v_{A}^{2}=0+2 a_{A} x$ and $v_{B}^{2}=0+2 a_{B} x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{v_{A}^{2}}{v_{B}^{2}}=\frac{a_{A}}{a_{B}}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow \frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\frac{1}{2}$

    Two equal charges $q$ of opposite sign separated by a distance $2a$ constitute an electric dipole of dipole moment $p$. If $P$ is a point at a distance $r$ from the centre of the dipole and the line joining the centre of the dipole to this point makes an angle $\theta $ with the axis of the dipole, then the potential at $P$ is given by $(r > > 2a)$ (Where $p = 2qa$)

    This question contains Statement$-1$ and Statement$-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
    Statement$-1$ : For a charged particle moving from point $P$ to point $Q$, the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point $P$ to point $Q$.
    Statement$-2$ : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.
