If identical charges 
are placed at each corner of a cube of side b, then electric potential energy of charge 
which is placed at center of the cube will be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Length of the diagonal of a cube having each side b is 
So distance of center of cube from each vertex is 
Hence potential energy of the given system of charge is
