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

- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{2 q}{\mathrm{~L}}\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{2 q}{L}\left(1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
- \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{2 L}\left(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)\)
- Zero
Answer
(A) 1 4 _0 2 q ~L (1- 1 5 )
