  • C

    The kinetic energy at $x = \sqrt 2\,m$ must be zero

  • D

    The kinetic energy at $x = \sqrt 2\,m$ may be zero

Charges $-q,\, q,\,q$ are placed at the vertices $A$, $B$, $C$ respectively of an equilateral triangle of side $'a'$ as shown in the figure. If charge $-q$ is released keeping remaining two charges fixed, then the kinetic energy of charge $(-q)$ at the instant when it passes through the mid point $M$ of side $BC$ is 

When three electric dipoles are near each other, they each experience the electric field of the other two, and the three dipole system has a certain potential energy. Figure below shows three arrangements $(1)$ , $(2)$ and $(3)$ in which three electric dipoles are side by side. All three dipoles have the same magnitude of electric dipole moment, and the spacings between adjacent dipoles are identical. If $U_1$ , $U_2$ and $U_3$ are potential energies of the arrangements $(1)$ , $(2)$ and $(3)$ respectively then
