Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle ABC as shown. The work done to put together these charges from infinity to their respective locations is

- A \( 3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
- B \( 34.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
- C \( -3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
- D \( -5.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( -3.42 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(W=\frac{9 \times 10^9}{0.05}[(3 \times-5)+(-5 \times 2)+(3 \times 2)] \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=\left(1.8 \times 10^{11}\right)[-15-10+6] \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=\left(1.8 \times 10^{11}\right)(-19) \times 10^{-16}\) \(W=-34.2 \times 10^{-5} J\) \(W=-3.42 \times 10^{-4} J\)
