Three charges \(Q\)\(+q \) and \(+q \) are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side \(l\) as shown in the figure. If the net electrostatic energy of the system is zero, then \(Q\) is equal to:

           

1. \(-\frac{q}{2} \) 2. \(-q\)
3. \(+q\) 4. \(\text{zero}\)

Two charges \(q_1\) and \(q_2\) are placed \(30\) cm apart, as shown in the figure. A third charge \(q_3\) is moved along the arc of a circle of radius \(40\) cm from \(C\) to \(D\). The change in the potential energy of the system is \(\frac{q_{3}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} k\), where \(k\) is:

     

1. \(8q_2\) 2. \(8q_1\)
3 \(6q_2\) 4. \(6q_1\)
