An electric charge 10-6 is placed at origin (0,0) m of X − Y co-ordinate system. Two points P and Q are situated at ( 3, 3) m and ( 6,0) m respectively. The potential difference between the points P and Q will be :
- 3 V
- 6 V
- 0 V
- 3 V
Answer
(3) 0 V
Solution
V= kqr depends only on the distance from the charge.
rP= ( 3)2+( 3)2= 6 m, rQ= ( 6)2+02= 6 m
rP=rQ, P and Q lie on the same equipotential sphere
VP-VQ=0 V
Answer: (3)
