Two positive charges of magnitude $q$ are placed at the ends of a side $1$ of a square of side $2a$. Two negative charges of the same magnitude are kept at the other corners. Starting from rest, if a charge $Q$, moves from the middle of side $1$ to the centre of square, its kinetic energy at the centre of square is
