NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
If two point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance r, what is the electric potential V at a point P located at a distance r1 from q1 and r2 from q2?
V = (1/4πε₀) * (q1/r1 + q2/r2)
V = (1/4πε₀) * (q1/r² + q2/r²)
V = (1/4πε₀) * (q1q2/r1r2)
V = (1/4πε₀) * (q1r1 + q2r2)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The potential at a point due to multiple charges is the algebraic sum of potentials due to each charge individually, given by V = (1/4πε₀) * (q1/r1 + q2/r2), as derived from the formula in Chunk 4.
