NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

If two charges of q1 = 3 μC and q2 = 6 μC are separated by a distance of r12 = 0.5 m in a vacuum, what is the electrostatic potential energy of the system? (Use ε0 = 8.854 × 10^-12 C^2/N·m^2)

A

0.324 J

B

0.216 J

C

0.108 J

D

0.432 J

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using U = (1 / (4πε0)) * (q1 * q2 / r12), substituting the given values yields U = 0.324 J, considering the formula from the NCERT context.
