Problem

Three charges each of value qq, are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. A fourth charge QQ is placed at the centre of the triangle. [1978] (1) If Q=−qQ = -q, will the charges at the corners move towards centre or fly away from it. (2) For what value of QQ will the charges remain stationary? In this situation how much work is done in removing the charges to infinity?
