Identical charges $(-q)$ are placed at each corner of a cube of side $b$. The electrostatic potential energy of a charge $(+q)$ placed at the center of the cube is:

  • A
    $\frac{8\sqrt{2}q^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 b}$
  • B
    $\frac{-8\sqrt{2}q^2}{\pi\varepsilon_0 b}$
  • C
    $\frac{-4\sqrt{2}q^2}{\pi\varepsilon_0 b}$
  • D
    $\frac{-4q^2}{\sqrt{3}\pi\varepsilon_0 b}$

Two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are separated by a distance of $30\ cm$. $A$ third charge $q_3$,initially at $C$ as shown in the figure,is moved along the circular path of radius $40\ cm$ from $C$ to $D$. If the difference in potential energy due to the movement of $q_3$ from $C$ to $D$ is given by $\frac{q_3 K}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$,find the value of $K$.
