An electric charge 10−6\muC{10}^{- 6}\muC is placed at origin (0,0)( 0, 0 ) mm of X−YX - Y co-ordinate system. Two points PP and QQ are situated at (3,3)m( \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{3} ) m and (6,0)m( \sqrt{6}, 0 ) m respectively. The potential difference between the points PP and QQ will be :

Options

  1. A3V\sqrt{3}V
  2. B6V\sqrt{6}V
  3. C0V0V
  4. D3V3V

Correct answer

C. 0V0V

Step-by-step solution

The formula to calculate the potential difference between PP and QQ is given by

∆V=kq(1r1−1r2)...(1)∆ V = kq\left(\dfrac{1}{{r}_{1}} - \dfrac{1}{{r}_{2}}\right) . . . \left(1\right)

Now,

{r1=(3)2+(3)2m=6m\begin{cases}{r}_{1} & = & \sqrt{( \sqrt{3}{)}^{2} + ( \sqrt{3}{)}^{2}}m \\ & = & \sqrt{6}m\end{cases}

And,

{r2=(6)2+0m=6m\begin{cases}{r}_{2} & = & \sqrt{( \sqrt{6}{)}^{2} + 0}m \\ & = & \sqrt{6}m\end{cases}

As r1=r2=6m{r}_{1} = {r}_{2} = \sqrt{6}m and the value of the charge remains constant, the potential difference between the points is zero.
