Three charges arranged at the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Three charges arranged at the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Three point charges, each of magnitude \(+q\), are initially located infinitely far apart from each other. An external force slowly moves the charges into a configuration where each charge resides at one vertex of an equilateral triangle with side length \(d\). What is the total work done by the external force to assemble this charge configuration?
