Mark
< Prev
Next >

A system of three point charges is arranged in the xy-plane: q1=2qq_1 = 2q is at the origin, q2=−qq_2 = -q is at (d,0)(d,0), and q3=3qq_3 = 3q is at (0,d)(0,d). What fraction of the system’s total electric potential energy is contributed by the interaction between charges q1q_1 and q3q_3?

A

64−3/2\frac{6}{4 - 3/\sqrt{2}}

B

1/3

C

3/5

D

1/2
