2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium

The work which is required to be done to make an arrangement of four particles each having a charge $+q$ such that the particles lie at the four corners of a square of side $a$ is .......

A

$(4+\sqrt{2}) \frac{k q^2}{a}$

B

$4 \frac{ kq ^2}{ a }$

C

$(2+\sqrt{2}) \frac{k q^2}{a}$

D

$2 \frac{k q^2}{a}$

Solution

(a)

$U=\frac{4 k q^2}{a}+\frac{2 k q^2}{a \sqrt{2}}$

$W=U$
