Q1

Two charges \(+q\) each are kept ' \(2 a\) ' distance apart. A third charge \(-2 q\) is placed midway between them. The potential energy of the system is -

a

\(\frac{ q ^2}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0 a }\)

b

\(-\frac{6 q ^2}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0 a }\)

c

\(\frac{-7 q^2}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0 a }\)

d

\(\frac{9 q^2}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0 a }\)
