Four equal charges q each are placed at four corners of a square of a square of side a each. Work done incarrying a charge -q from its centre to infinity is

A

Zero

B

`(sqrt(2) Q^(2))/( 4 pi epsi_(0) a)`

C

`(sqrt(2)Q^(2))/(pi epsi_(0)a)`

D

`(Q^(2))/(2 pi epsi_(0) a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`W=-Q {0-(4Q)/(4 pi e_0 a//sqrt2)} =(sqrt2 Q^2)/( pi e_0 a)`
