Explanation:
Given conditions ⇒
q₁ = 12 μC = 12 × 10⁻⁶ C.
q₂ = 8 μC = 8 × 10⁻⁶ C.
Distance between them(r₁) = 10 cm. = 0.1 m.
Final Distance between them(r₂) = 6 cm . = 0.06 m.
Work done in bringing the charges upto the distance of 6 cm is given by,
W = k q₁ q₂ (1/r₂ - 1/r₁)
= 9 × 10⁹ × 12 × 10⁻⁶ × 8 × 10⁻⁶(1/0.06 - 1/0.1)
= 864 × 10⁻³ (16.67 - 10)
= 864 × 10⁻³(6.67)
= 5760 × 10⁻³
= 5.76 J.
Hence, the work done is 5.76 J.
