Two point charges +4q and -3q are placed at points A and B...
Two point charges and are placed at points and respectively, as shown in the figure. Assuming the variables and represent purely numerical values in standard SI units, the numerical value of the electric potential at the origin , when expressed in multiples of , is:
(Take )
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The electric potential at the origin is the sum of the potentials due to the individual point charges.
Using the formula , the total potential at is:
Substituting the given values with distances converted to meters ( and ):
Factoring out the common terms:
Thus, the numerical value of the electric potential at the origin, when expressed in multiples of , is \left( \dfrac{7}{12} \right) qK
