A plane sheet has a uniformly distributed charge. Origin is selected at the middle of the sheet (in yz plane). A charge +Q is moved from point A(10a, 2a, 0) to point B(10a, 0, 2a) along a circle and then to point C(10a, 0, 0). If the initial electrostatic potential energy is U0, what will be final electrostatic potential energy?
