NEET2023PhysicsElectrostaticsActual
An electric dipole is placed as shown in the figure. The electric potential (in 10 2   V ) at point P due to the dipole is ( ε 0 =permittivity of free space and 1 4 π ε 0 = K )
Options
- A8 3 q K
- B3 8 q K
- C5 8 q K
- D8 5 q K
Correct answer
B. 3 8 q K
Step-by-step solution
The net electric potential at P can be calculated as follows- V p = K q 5   cm - 3   cm × 1   m 10 2   cm - K q 5   cm + 3   cm × 1   m 10 2   cm = K q × 10 2 × 1 2 - 1 8 = 3 K q 8 × 10 2   V
