Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Question

Wired Faculty App

Suggest an arrangement of three point charges separated by finite distances that has zero electric potential energy.

Solution

The arrangement of three point -q,+q and +q charges such that electrical potential energy is 0, is as shown below :

Electric potential energy, U = k \frac{q (q)}{r} + \frac{k (q) (- q)}{(2 r)} + \frac{k (- q) (q)}{(2 r)} U = zero .
