Question

Answer #1

the answer is:
A Pt

  12 12 4 =-1.4642 /πε0d

   So U = -1.46 q2 /πε0d

Explanation:

2 d        

v3 d

as shown in the figure the reference charge  charge q has interaction with

three other charges which are at face diagonals at a distanceof √2 d.

where d is the square side .

in the same way the same charge will have interactionwith one charge at body dia gonal at a distance of √3

in the first term given by u, each term indicates theinteraction woith the remainning.

- kq 2 ( 3 / d)---------------------------potential due to the three cahrgeslocated at the edge of the cube at a distance dfrom the reference charge

-

- kq 2 ( 3 / √2 d)---------------------- potential calculated for thereference charge due to the three charges located at the three facecorners of the cube at a distance of √2 d.

-

- kq 2 ( 1 / √ 3 d ) is thepotential aquired by the reference charge due to the only chargewhich is located at a distance of √3 d , body diagonall tothe reference charge.

as shown on the above figure we must consider theinteraction beteen two charges only once

that if we first we include the potentialbetween q1 ----> q2 while calculating thepotential for q1

then there is no necesssary to include the term fromq2---------->q1 while calculating thepotential for q2 .

                  

in this way the potential term between any two chargesmust considered only once , and from thedistance between them the final expression.can be givenas.

  

hope u got the point clear.
