Three identical masses are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle a. The correct statement is

A

The system will be in equilibrium if the charges have the same magnitude but not all have the same sign

B

The system will be in equilibrium if the charges have different magnitudes and not all have the same sign

C

The system will be in equilibrium if the charges rotate about the centre of the triangle

D

The system can never be in equilibrium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
