Consider two equal positive (+q and +q) charges that are held inplace at a fixed distance (d). Call the electric potential energyof this two-charge system U0. If you put a third charge, equal tothe other two but of opposite sign (-q), at the midway point (d/2)between these two charges, what is the electrical potential energyof the three-charge system?A) -5 U0B) -3 U0C) -1 U0D) +1 U0
please explain
