Practicing Success
Three charges Q, +q and +q are placed at the vertices of a right angle triangle (isosceles triangle) as shown. The net electrostatic energy of the configuration is zero, if Q is equal to : |
$\frac{-q}{1+\sqrt{2}}$ $\frac{-2q}{2+\sqrt{2}}$ -2q +q |
$\frac{-2q}{2+\sqrt{2}}$ |
Net electrostatic energy of the configuration will be $U = K\left[\frac{q . q}{a}+\frac{Q . q}{\sqrt{2 a}}+\frac{Q . q}{a}\right]$ Here, K = $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ $Q =\frac{-2 q}{2+\sqrt{2}}$ |
