Charges $-q, q, q$ are placed at the vertices $A, B, C$ respectively of an equilateral triangle of side $a$ as shown in the figure. If charge $-q$ is released keeping the remaining two charges fixed,then the kinetic energy of charge $-q$ at the instant when it passes through the midpoint $M$ of side $BC$ is:

The mass of charge $Q$ is $m$ and the mass of charge $2Q$ is $4m$. If both are released from rest at an initial separation $r$,what will be the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of charge $Q$ at infinite separation?

$A$ charged particle $q$ is shot from a large distance with speed $v$ towards a fixed charged particle $Q$. It approaches $Q$ up to a closest distance $r$ and then returns. If $q$ were given a speed $2v$,the closest distance of approach would be:

$A$ point charge of $10^{-8} \text{ C}$ is placed at the origin. The work done in moving a point charge of $2 \mu\text{C}$ from point $A(4, 4, 2) \text{ m}$ to $B(2, 2, 1) \text{ m}$ is . . . . . . $\text{J}$.

The displacement of a charge $Q$ in the electric field $\vec{E} = e_1 \hat{i} + e_2 \hat{j} + e_3 \hat{k}$ is $\vec{r} = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j}$. The work done by the electric field is:
