Questions  

Three charges Q, (+q) and (+q) are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side I as shown in the figure. If the net electrostatic energy of the system is zero, then Q is equal to

a
-q2
b
-q
c
+q
d
Zero

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Potential energy of the system,U=kQql+kq2l+kqQl=0 ⇒kql(Q+q+Q)=0⇒Q=-q2
