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 -

  1. \(\frac{q^{2}}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} a}\)
  2. \(-\frac{6 q^{2}}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} a}\)
  3. \(\frac{-7 q^{2}}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} a}\)
  4. \(\frac{9 q^{2}}{8 \pi \varepsilon_{0} a}\)

Answer

(C) -7 q^ 2 8 _ 0 a
