Three point charges q_1 = 1\ , q_2 = -2\ , and q_3 = 3\ are placed...
Three point charges , , and are placed at , respectively. The electric potential at origin is \left\{\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\ \text{SI unit}\right\}
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The electric potential at the origin is given by the superposition principle:
of the charges from the origin are:
r_1 = 1\ r_2 = 2\ r_3 = 3\ the values of charges and distances:
V = 9 10^9 \left( \dfrac{1 \times 10^{-6}}{1} + \dfrac{-2 \times 10^{-6}}{2} + \dfrac{3 \times 10^{-6}}{3} \right)V = 9 \times 10^9 \times 10^{-6} (1 - 1 + 1)V = 9 \times 10^3\ \text{V}9 \times 10^3\ \text{V}
