Two charges 8 μC each are placed at the comers A and B of an equilateral triangle of side 0.2 m in air. The electric potential at the third comer C is

  1. A 7.2×105 V
  2. B 1.8×105 V
  3. C 3.6×105 V
  4. D 3.6×104 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 7.2×105 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The net electric potential at a corner of an equilateral triangle due to both charges located at the other two corners of that equilateral triangle is V=k8 μC0.2 m+8 μC0.2 mV=9×109 N m2 C-2 ×16×10-6 C0.2 m…
