Three point charges \(1 \mathrm{C},-2 \mathrm{C}\) and \(-2 \mathrm{C}\) are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 1 metre. The work done by an external force to increase the separation of the charges to 2 metre in joule is ( \(\varepsilon_0=\) permittivity of air)

  1. A \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{16 \pi \varepsilon_0}\)
  4. D \(zero\)
