    Pour electric charges \[+q,+q,-q\] and \[-q\] are placed at the comers of a square of side 2L (see figure). The electric potential at point A, mid-way between the two charges \[+q\] and \[+q,\] is [AIPMT (S) 2011]

    A) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{2q}{L}\left( 1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right)\]

    B) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{2q}{L}\left( 1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right)\]

    C) zero      

    D) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{2q}{L}\left( 1+\sqrt{5} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[V=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{q}{r}\]
    Here,     \[V=2{{V}_{+ve}}+2{{V}_{-ve}}\]
                \[V=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\left[ \frac{2q}{L}-\frac{2q}{L\sqrt{5}} \right]\]
                            \[V=\frac{2q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}L}\left( 1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right)\]
