NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12
Consider a square arrangement ABCD with four charges at each corner: +q at A, -q at B, +q at C, and -q at D, with side length d. What is the electric potential at the center E of the square?
A
Zero
B
2kq/d
C
4kq/d
D
-2kq/d
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Due to symmetry, the potential at the center E, contributed by these charges, cancels out to zero.
