Four charges,each of magnitude $+Q$,are placed at the corners of a square of side $a$. What is the net force on one of the charges?

  • A
    $\frac{3Q^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4Q^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{1 + 2\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) \frac{Q^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$
  • D
    $\left( 2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \frac{Q^2}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$

In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).
