Eight charges, each of magnitude are placed at the vertices of a cube placed in vacuum. Electric potential at the centre of the cube due to this system of charges is:
( is permittivity of vacuum and is length of each side of the cube)

Important Questions on Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance






A charge Q is uniformly distributed over a long rod AB of length L as shown in the figure. The electric potential at the point O lying at a distance L from the end A is :





Four point charge (with equal magnitude of charge of but with different signs) are placed at four corners of a square of side Assuming that the square is centered at the origin and the configuration of the charges are as given in the figure, the potential and the magnitude of electric field at the origin, respectively are
