The potential energy where ( q_{3} ) is at point ( mathrm{C} ) [ left.U_{1}=frac{1}{4 pi varepsilon_{0}} mid frac{q_{1} q_{3}}{0.40}+frac{q_{2} q_{3}}{sqrt{(0.40)^{2}+(0.30)^{2}}}right] ] The potential energy when ( q_{3} ) is at point ( D ) [ begin{array}{l} quad U_{2}=frac{1}{4 pi varepsilon_{0}}left[frac{q_{1} q_{3}}{0.40}+frac{q_{2} q_{3}}{0.10}right] quad^{q}[because cdots . text { Thus change in potential } begin{array}{ll} text { energy is } Delta U=U_{2}-U_{1} & q_{4} end{array} end{array} ] ( Rightarrow frac{q_{3}}{4 pi varepsilon_{0}} k=frac{1}{4 pi varepsilon_{0}}left[frac{q_{1} q_{3}}{0.40}+frac{q_{2} q_{3}}{0.10}-frac{q_{1} q_{3}}{0.40}-frac{q_{2} q_{3}}{0.50}right] ) ( Rightarrow k=frac{5 q_{2}-q_{2}}{0.50}=frac{4 q_{2}}{0.50}=8 q_{2} )
