Two charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ 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 $\frac{q_{3} K}{4 \pi \in_{0}}$, the value of $K$ is :
Image
  • A
    $8 q_{2}$
  • B
    $6 q_{2}$
  • C
    $8 q_{1}$
  • D
    $6 q_{1}$
Answer
A. $8 q_{2}$
Potential at C
$V_{C}=\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{1}}{0.4}+\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{2}}{0.5}$
Potential at D
$\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{D}}=\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{1}}{0.4}+\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{2}}{0.1}$
$\Delta \mathrm{U}=\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{D}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}\right)\left(\mathrm{q}_{3}\right)=\left(\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{2}}{0.1}-\frac{\mathrm{kq}_{2}}{0.5}\right)\left(\mathrm{q}_{3}\right)$

  • B
    $1: 12$
  • C

$\frac{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{B}}}=2$
$\Delta \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{A}} \mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{A}}}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{B}} \mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{B}}}$
Given, $F_{A}=F_{B}$ and $Y_{A}=Y_{B}$
$\frac{\Delta L_{A}}{\Delta L_{B}}=\frac{\frac{F_{A} L_{A}}{A_{A} Y_{A}}}{\frac{F_{B} L_{B}}{A_{B} Y_{B}}}=\left(\frac{L_{A}}{L_{B}}\right)\left(\frac{A_{B}}{A_{A}}\right)$
$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\Delta \mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}\right)\left(\frac{\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{~d}_{\mathrm{B}}^{2}}{\frac{\pi}{4} \mathrm{~d}_{\mathrm{A}}^{2}}\right)=\left(\frac{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{A}}}{\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{B}}}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{A}}}\right)^{2}$

As we know,
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}=\left[\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{L}}}{\mu_{\mathrm{m}}}-1\right]\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}\right]$
For air $\mu_{\mathrm{m}}=1$
$\frac{1}{12}=[1.6-1]\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}\right]$
$\frac{1}{12}=\frac{6}{10}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}\right]$
$\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}}\right]=\frac{10}{72}$
For water
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}=\left[\frac{1.6}{1.28}-1\right]\left[\frac{10}{72}\right]=\frac{32}{128} \times \frac{10}{72}$
$\frac{1}{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{10}{72}$

The given equation can be written as
$x=\frac{a}{2} \cos [1.5+50.5] t+\frac{a}{2} \cos [50.5-1.5]$
$x=\frac{a}{2} \cos [52 t]+\frac{a}{2} \cos [49 t]$
