    Three charges Q, \[+q\] and \[+q\] are placed at the vertices of a right angle triangle (isosceles) as shown. The net electrostatic energy of the configuration is zero, if Q is equal to :            

    A)  \[\frac{-q}{1+\sqrt{2}}\]                       

    B)  \[\frac{2q}{2+\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[-2q\]                                

    D)  \[+q\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As net potential energy = 0 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[K=\frac{Qq}{a}+\frac{K{{q}^{2}}}{a}+\frac{KQq}{\sqrt{2a}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[Q+q+\frac{Q}{\sqrt{2}}=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[Q=\frac{2q}{(2+\sqrt{2})}\]
