Consider a system of three charges $\frac{q}{3}, \frac{q}{3}$ and $-\frac{2q}{3}$ placed at points $A, B$ and $C$ respectively,as shown in the figure. Take $O$ to be the centre of the circle of radius $R$ and $\angle CAB = 60^\circ$.

  • A
    The electric field at point $O$ is $\frac{q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}$ directed along the negative $x$-axis.
  • B
    The potential energy of the system is zero.
  • C
    The magnitude of the force between the charges at $C$ and $B$ is $\frac{q^2}{54\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}$.
  • D
    The potential at point $O$ is $\frac{q}{12\pi \epsilon_0 R}$.
