Four electric charges + q, + q, -q and - q are placed at the corners of a square of side 2 L (see figure). The electric potential at point A, midway between the two charges + q and + q is

- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L}\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L}(1+\sqrt{5})\)
- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{2 q}{L}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
- zero
Answer
(C) 1 4 _ 0 2 q L (1+ 1 5 )
