Three charge `+q, -q`, and `+2q` are placed at the vertices of a right angled triangle (isosceles triangle)as shown. The net electrostatic energy of the configuration is: A. `-(kq^(2))/(a) (sqrt(2 + 1))`B. `(Kq^(2))/(a)(sqrt(2) + 1)`C. `-(Kq^(2))/(a) (sqrt(2) -1)`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`U = (Kq^(2))/(a) (-1+2-(2)/(sqrt(2)))`
`= (Kq^(2))/(a) (1-sqrt(2)) rArr U = - (kq^(2))/(a)(sqrt(2)-1)`
