Questions  

Three particles, each having a charge of 10 μC are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 10 cm. The electrostatic potential energy of the system is (Given14πε0=9×109 N-m2/C2 ).

a
zero
b
infinite
c
27 J
d
100 J

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For pair of charge U=14πε0·q1q2r USystem =14πε010×10-6×10×10-610/100+10×10-6×10×10-610/100+10×10-6×10×10-610/100 =3×9×109×100×10-12×10010=27 J
