Question
Constants| Periodic Table Part A In the figure(Figure 1)there are two point charges, +q and -q. There are also six positions, labeled A through F, at various distances from the two point charges. You will be asked about the electric potential at the different points (A through F) Rank the locations A to F on the basis of the electric potential at each point. Rank positive electric potentials as higher than negative electric potentials Rank the locations from highest to lowest potential. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them View Available Hint(s) Reset Help highest lowest Figure 1 of 1> The correct ranking cannot be determined. SubmitPre ious Ans A B E F X Incorrect; Try Again; 3 attempts remaining Points C and D are equally distant from each of the two charges. Therefore, they must have the same electric potential. To signify this equality, stack the cards for the equivalent points one on top of anotherExplanation / Answer
Answer:
Let us go to the basics first.
Potential =V =kq/r
At point nearer to +q, potential is more,at point nearer to -q, potential is less and negative.
At point equidistant from +q and -q, potential is zero
Point B is nearest, potential at point B is largest
Potential at point A is less than potential at point B
Points C and D are equidistant, potential at point C and point D is zero
Potential at point F is negative and less than potential at point B, point A, point C and point D but more than potential at point E
Ranking from largest to smallest
B > A > C = D > F > E (Answer)
