Four point charges `-Q, -q, 2q` and `2Q` are placed, one at each corner of the square. The relation between `Q` and `q` for which the potential at the centre of the square is zero is

A

Q=q

B

`Q=(1)/(q)`

C

Q=-q

D

`Q=-(1)/(q)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Potential V at centre of the square `=(-kQ)/(r )-(kq)/(r )+(k2Q)/(r )+(k2q)/(r )=0`
So Q=- q
