Three point charges $1 \ C$,$-2 \ C$,and $-2 \ C$ are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $1 \ m$. The work done by an external force to increase the separation of the charges to $2 \ m$ in joules is ($\varepsilon_0 =$ permittivity of air).

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{16 \pi \varepsilon_0}$
  • D
    $0$
