Electromagnetic Theory

  1. Two point charges Q and – Q are located on two opposite corners of a square as shown in figure. If the potential at the corner A is taken as 1 V, then the potential at B, the centre of the square will be—
    1. Zero
    2. 1
      V
      2
    3. 1 V
    4. 2V
Correct Option: C

The plane midway between a and – a, i.e., the one passing through ABC and perpendicular to the plane of the paper is an equipotential plane.
Hence the potential at B is the same as that of A or C, i.e., 1 V.
