A circle of radius a has charge density given by λ = λ 0 cos 2 θ on its circumference, where λ 0 is a positive constant and θ is the angular position of a point on the circle with respect to some reference line. The potential at the centre of the circle is
Options
- Aλ 0 4 ε 0
- Bzero
- Cλ 0 2 ε 0
- Dλ 0 ε 0
Correct answer
A. λ 0 4 ε 0
Step-by-step solution
d q = λ a d θ = λ 0 cos 2 ⁡ θ a   d θ q =   ∫ θ = 0 θ = 2 π λ 0 cos 2 ⁡ θ a   d θ = λ 0 π a   V = q 4 π ε 0 a = λ 0 4 ε 0
