Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  1. Three charges, each +q, are placed at the corners of an isosceles triangle ABC of sides BC and AC, 2a. D and E are the mid points of BC and CA. The work done in taking a charge Q from D to E is
    1. 3qQ
      8πε0a
    2. qQ
      4πε0a
    3. zero
    4. 3qQ
      4πε0a
Correct Option: C


​AC = BC​
​VD = VE
We have, ​
W = Q (VE – VD) ​​
⇒ W = 0
