JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
The electric potential at the centre of two concentric half rings of radii \(R_1\) and \(R_2\), having same linear charge density \(\lambda\) is

- A \(\frac{2 \lambda}{\epsilon_0}\)
- B \(\frac{\lambda}{2 \epsilon_0}\)
- C \(\frac{\lambda}{4 \epsilon_0}\)
- D \(\frac{\lambda}{\epsilon_0}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{\lambda}{2 \epsilon_0}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Potential at centre \(V=\frac{\left(\lambda \cdot \pi R_2\right)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R_2}+\frac{\left(\lambda \cdot \pi R_1\right)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R_1}\) \(=\frac{\lambda}{2 \varepsilon_0}\)
