$ \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{i}} =\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{4 \mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{KQ}}{2 \mathrm{a}} \cdot \mathrm{Q}=\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}}+\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{4 \mathrm{a}} $

$=\frac{5 \mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{4 \mathrm{a}} $

$ \mathrm{E}_{f} =\frac{\mathrm{K}(2 \mathrm{Q})^{2}}{4 \mathrm{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}} \quad \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{i}}-\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{H}=\frac{\mathrm{KQ}^{2}}{4 \mathrm{a}} $
