Question
**Figure 1 Explanation:**

The image contains two diagrams labeled as (A) and (B). These diagrams represent configurations of point charges and geometrical arrangements.

**Diagram (A):**

- A square with sides labeled as \(d\).
- Four point charges are placed at each corner of the square:
  - \(Q_1 = -q\) at the bottom left.
  - \(Q_2 = -q\) at the bottom right.
  - \(Q_3 = q\) at the top right.
  - \(Q_4 = q\) at the top left.

**Diagram (B):**

- A cube with sides labeled as \(d\).
- Eight point charges are placed at each corner of the cube:
  - \(Q_1, Q_2, Q_3, Q_4\) in one plane.
  - \(Q_5, Q_6, Q_7, Q_8\) in the plane parallel to the first.
- The charges alternate between \(-q\) and \(+q\).

**Potential Energy for Figure 1A:**

The potential energy \(U\) for the configuration in figure 1A is given by the formula:

\[
U = \sum_{i=1}^4 \sum_{j=i+1}^4 \frac{KQ_iQ_j}{r_{ij}} = -\frac{2Kq^2}{\sqrt{2}d} \quad (\text{True, False})
\]

- \(Q_1 = -q, \, Q_2 = -q, \, Q_3 = q, \, Q_4 = q\)
- The distances between charges:
  - \(r_{12} = d, \, r_{13} = \sqrt{2}d, \, r_{14} = d\)
  - \(r_{23} = d, \, r_{24} = \sqrt{2}d, \, r_{34} = d\)

This setup illustrates the calculation of potential energy between point charges in a geometric arrangement.
