Figure shown an arrangement of three points charges. The total potential energy of this arrangement zero. The ratio `(q)/(Q)` is :A. `4 : 1`B. `2 : 1`C. `1 : 1`D. `1: 2`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`U_(sys)=(1)/(4 pi epsilon_(0))[(-qQ)/(r)+((+q)(+q))/(2r)+(Q(-q))/(r)]=0`
`-Q+(q)/(2)-Q=0`
or `2Q=(q)/(2)or (q)/(Q)=(4)/(1)`
