Four electric charges +q,+q,-q and -q are placed at the corners of a square of side 2 ~L (see figure). The electric potential at point A , mid-way between the two charges +q and +q , is
Options
- A1 4 ₀ 2 q L (1+ 1 5 )
- B1 4 ₀ 2 q L (1- 1 5 )
- Czero
- D1 4 ₀ 2 q L (1+ 5 )
Correct answer
B. 1 4 ₀ 2 q L (1- 1 5 )
Step-by-step solution
V= 1 4 ₀ q r Here, aligned & V=2 V_ + ve +2 V_ -ve & V= 1 4 ₀ [ 2 q L - 2 q L 5 ] & V= 2 q 4 ₀ L (1- 1 5 ) aligned
