Four equal point charges Q each are placed in the  xy plane at (0, 2), (4, 2), (4, -2) and (0, -2). The work required to put a fifth charge Q at the origin of the coordinate system will be :

a
Q24π∈01+15
b
Q24π∈01+13
c
Q222π∈0
d
Q24π∈0

detailed solution

Correct option is A

W=QV=QV1+V2+V3+V4=Q14π∈0Qr1+14π∈0Qr2+14π∈0Qr3+14π∈0Qr4 =14π∈0Q212+12+122+42+122+42 =Q24π∈01+220 =Q24π∈01+225==Q24π∈01+15
