The electric potential at a point P due to two charges in fig (a) is V_(1) and in fig (b) is V_(2). Consider the given object to be a ring. What is the relation between V_(1) and V_(2)? Explain your answer.

Answer»

Solution :`V_(1)=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0)) ((2q)/(R ))` (where r is RADIUS of rings)
`V_(2)=(1)/(4pi epsilon_(0))((2q)/(r )) rArr V_(1)=V_(2)`
As electric potential is a SCALAR quantity it DEPENDS only on the DISTANCE of the charge from point (P) and not on the direction of the location of the point.
