Four point charges –Q, –q, 2q and 2Q are placed, one at each corner of the square. The relation between Q and q for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero is :
-
- Q = – q
- Q = – 1/q
- Q = q
- Q = 1/q
Correct Option: A
Let the side length of square be 'a' then potential at centre O is (Given)
