Two point charges +Q and Q2 are kept at a separation and potential energy at the mid point joining the charges is -0.8 U. Now +2Q charge is added to each of the point charge. Then potential energy at the same point has a magnitude of

a
3.2 U
b
2.4 U
c
3.6 U
d
7.2 U

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Initially, U=K(+Q)(−Q2)d=−12KQ2dFinally U1=K(+3Q)(2Q−Q2)d=92.KQ2d⇒U1=9×0.8U=7.2 U
