Two point charges +4q+4q and −3q-3q are placed at points AA and BB respectively, as shown in the figure. Assuming the variables qq and KK represent purely numerical values in standard SI units, the numerical value of the electric potential at the origin OO, when expressed in multiples of 102 V10^2\text{ V}, is:

(Take 14πε0=K\dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = K)

Options

  1. A(2512)qK\left(\dfrac{25}{12}\right)qK
  2. B(15)qK\left(\dfrac{1}{5}\right)qK
  3. C(712)qK\left(\dfrac{7}{12}\right)qK
  4. D(127)qK\left(\dfrac{12}{7}\right)qK

Correct answer

C. (712)qK\left(\dfrac{7}{12}\right)qK

Step-by-step solution

The electric potential at the origin OO is the sum of the potentials due to the individual point charges.

Using the formula V=KQrV = \dfrac{KQ}{r}, the total potential at OO is:
VO=VA+VBV_O = V_A + V_B

Substituting the given values with distances converted to meters (3 cm=3×10−2 m3\text{ cm} = 3 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m} and 4 cm=4×10−2 m4\text{ cm} = 4 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}):
VO=K(4q)3×10−2+K(−3q)4×10−2V_O = \dfrac{K(4q)}{3 \times 10^{-2}} + \dfrac{K(-3q)}{4 \times 10^{-2}}

Factoring out the common terms:
VO=Kq×102(43−34)V_O = Kq \times 10^2 \left( \dfrac{4}{3} - \dfrac{3}{4} \right)

VO=Kq×102(16−912)V_O = Kq \times 10^2 \left( \dfrac{16 - 9}{12} \right)

VO=(712)qK×102 VV_O = \left( \dfrac{7}{12} \right) qK \times 10^2\text{ V}

Thus, the numerical value of the electric potential at the origin, when expressed in multiples of 102 V10^2\text{ V}, is \left( \dfrac{7}{12} \right) qK.<br><br>Answer:(712)qK.<br><br>Answer: \left(\dfrac{7}{12}\right)qK
