In the Figure +4.0μC+ 4.0 - \mu \mathrm { C }

Question 47

Multiple Choice

In the figure, +4.0μC+ 4.0 - \mu \mathrm { C } and 4.0μC- 4.0 - \mu \mathrm { C } point charges are located as shown. Now an additional +2.00μC+ 2.00 - \mu \mathrm { C } point charge is placed at point A\mathrm { A } . What is the electric potential energy of this system of three charges, relative to infinity? (k=1/4πε0=8.99×109 Nm2/C2) \left( k = 1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } = 8.99 \times 10 ^ { 9 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { C } ^ { 2 } \right)
