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

Charges \(+q\) and \(-q\) are placed at points \(A\) and \(B\) respectively which are a distance \(2L\) apart, \(C\) is the midpoint between \(A\) and \(B\). The work done in moving a charge \(+Q\) along the semicircle \(CRD\) is

The electrostatic potential is also known as the electric field potential, electric potential, or potential drop is defined as “The amount of work that is done in order to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing an acceleration.”
SI unit of electrostatic potential - volt
Other units - statvolt
Symbol of electrostatic potential - V or φ
Dimensional formula - ML2T3I-1
The electric potential energy of the system is given by the following formula:
U = 1/(4πεº) × [q1q2/d]
Where q1 and q2 are the two charges that are separated by the distance d.
