A point charge `q_1=q` is placed at point P. Another point charge `q_2=-q` is placed at point Q. At some point `R(R!=P, R!=Q)`, electric potential due to `q-1 is V_1` and electric potential due to `q_2` is `V_2`. Which of the following is correct

A

only for some points `V_1gtV_2`

B

only fro some points `V_2gtV_1`

C

for all points `V_1gtV_2`

D

for all points `V_2gtV_1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`V_1` is positive and `V_2` is negative. Hence at all points , `V_1gtV_2`
