    Three charges -q, + Q and -q are placed in a straight line as shown. If the total potential energy of the system is zero, then the ratio \[\frac{q}{Q}\] is

    A)  2                                            

    B)  5.5

    C)  4                                            

    D)  1.5

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Potential energy of the system \[\frac{-kqQ}{x}-\frac{kQq}{x}+\frac{k{{q}^{2}}}{2x}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{-4kqQ+k{{q}^{2}}}{2x}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[k{{q}^{2}}=4\,kQq\]                 \[\frac{q}{Q}=4\]
