Three charges, each equal to +q, are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle ABC of side 'a' as shown in the figure. P and R are the mid-points of BC and CA. The work done in taking a charge Q from point P to R is:
image

  1. A \( \frac{3qQ}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 a} \)
  2. B \( \frac{3qQ}{12\pi\varepsilon_0 a} \)
  3. C \( \frac{qQ}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 a} \)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( V_P = \frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{a\sqrt{3}/2} + \frac{1}{a/2} + \frac{1}{a/2} \right) \) \( V_R = \frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} \left( \frac{1}{a/2} + \frac{1}{a\sqrt{3}/2} + \frac{1}{a/2} \right) \) Since the terms within the parentheses are identical,…
