Electrostatic Potential due to a system of charges

For a number of charges present in space, the total potential at a point due to all those charges will be equal to the sum of individual potential of each charge at that point.

An infinite number of charges each equal to 'q' are placed along the X-axis at x=1, x=2, x=4, x=8 ..... The potential at the point x = 0 due to this set of charges is:

We know V due to charge q = kQ/r

V is a scalar quantity

total potential at 0 is just sum of all charges.

V = kq/1 + kq/2 + kq/4 + .....

=\boxed{kq(\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{2} } )}\  (sum\ of\ infinite\ G.P=\frac{a}{1-r} )

V=\frac{q}{4\pi\ E0} }2\\\\V=\frac{2q}{4\pi\ E0} }

Hope this helps...
