Question:

Figure P25.44 shows three configurations of charged particles. All the particles are the same distance from the origin. Rank the configurations in terms of $(a)$ the electrostatic potentials at the origin, greatest first, and $(b)$ the electric potential energies of the three-particle system, greatest first.
