Question

The electric potential, when measured at a point equidistant from two particles that have charges equal in magnitude but of opposite sign, is smaller than zero. equal to zero. equal to the average of the two distances times the charges. larger than zero. equal to the net electric field.

Answer 1

Answer:

equal to the net electric field.

Explanation:

The electric field potential due to any charge at any point is defined as the force of the given charge on a unit positive test charge. The direction of the electric field potential is the direction of the force on the test charge due to the given charge.

• At any equidistant point in the space from the two charges equal in magnitude opposite in nature the net electric field potential will be equal to the vector sum of the electric field at that point which becomes zero only if the point lies on the line joining the charges.
