Question

Three charges +2μc, -2μc, and +3μc are placed at the vertices of a equilateral triangle of side 1 m . The potential energy of the system of this three charges is. *​

Answer 1

Answer:

- 4k x 10^-12

Explanation:

Assume an equilateral triangle and arrange the charge particle on vertices.

Now for potential energy there is three systems of charge which produces potential energy.

Now potential energy = - 4k x 10^-12(from first system) +( - 6k x 10^-12)(from second system) + 6k x 10^-12 (from Third system).

We get potential energy = - 4k x10^-12 J. Now substitute the value of k and we will get our required answer.
