There are four-point charges +q,-q,+q and -q placed at the corners A, B, C, and D respectively of a square of side a. The potential energy of the system is \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}\) times:

  1. \(\frac{q^{2}}{a}(-4+\sqrt{2})\)
  2. \(\frac{q^{2}}{2 a}(-4+\sqrt{2})\)
  3. \(\frac{4 q^{2}}{a}\)
  4. \(\frac{-4 \sqrt{2} q^{2}}{a}\)

Answer

(B) q^ 2 2 a (-4+ 2 )
