Question

A point charge q is located at The origin. A charge q0 can be placed at a point P1, which is a distance r from The origin (top drawing). Or, a charge 2q0 can be placed at P2, which is a distance 2r from The origin (bottom drawing). All charges are positive. Which statement is true about The electric potentials due charge q at P1 and P2? The electric potential at P1 is less than that at P2, because r is smaller than 2r. The electric potential at P1 is The same as that at P2. The electric potential at P1 is greater than that at P2, because r is smaller than 2r. The electric potential at P1 is less than that at P2, because q0 is smaller than 2q0.

Explanation / Answer

You are wrong Anonymous... the right answer is : p1 greater than p2 because r is smaller than 2r
