  • MCQ

charge \(Q\) is uniformly distributed over a long rod \(AB\) of length \(L\) as shown in the figure. The electric potential at the point \(O\) lying at distance \(L\) from the end \(A\) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{{Qln2}}{{4\pi {\varepsilon _0}L}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electric potential is given by,

\(V=\int_{L}^{2 L} \frac{k d q}{x}=\int_{L}^{2 L} \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\left(\frac{q}{L}\right) d x}{x}=\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} L} \ln (2)\)
