Answer:
[tex]W=2.592*10^{-7} J[/tex]
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
Charge 3 nC
Radius of ring is 10 cm
A point charge 1 nC
Distance of point charge is 2.5 m
We know that voltage is calculated as
[tex]V(0) =\frac{KQ}{r} [/tex]
[tex]=\frac{(9*10^{-9})(3*10^{-9})}{0.1}[/tex]
V = 270 V
At x = 2.5m
[tex]r = \sqrt{(0.1^2+2.5^2)}[/tex]
r = 1.581 m
[tex]V(2) = \frac{(9*10^9)(3*10^{-9})}{1.581}[/tex]
V(2) = 10.801 V
Work done is calculated as
W= q(dV)
[tex]W = (1*10^{-9})(270 - 10.80)[/tex]
[tex]W=2.592*10^{-7} J[/tex]
