The potential difference between A and B is (b) q / 16πε0.
Given: A point charge q is located at (2,3,3) in the XYZ coordinate.
A = (2, 3, 3) and B = (-2,3,3).
To Find: The potential differences between A and B.
Solution:
- The electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point or between two particular points.
- The electric potential at a particular point due to another point is given by the formula,
V = q / 4πε0R .......(1)
where, V = potential difference, ε0 = permittivity of free space, R = distance between two points.
Coming to the numerical we have,
A = (2, 3, 3) and B = (-2,3,3).
So, let the distance between A and B be R,
∴ R = √ ( ( 2 - (-2))² + ( 3 - 3 )² + ( 3 - 3 )² )
= √16
= 4 units
Also, the magnitude of charge given is = q
Hence, putting respective values in (1), we get;
V = q / 4πε0R
⇒ V = q / ( 4πε0 × 4 )
⇒ V = q / 16πε0
Hence, the potential difference between A and B is (b) q / 16πε0.
