Answer:
a)
b)
Explanation:
I have attached the image for reference of my solution.
a) resultant electric force on a charge Q.
The length of diagonal = a√2
The resultant electric force on charge Q can be given by
Hence this the required resultant force on a charge Q,
b) Potential energy of this system.
Hence this the required potential energy of this system.
