Charges are placed on the vertices of a square as shown. Let E→ be the electric field and V the potential at the center. If the charges on A and B are interchanged with those on D and C respectively, then AIEEE 2007 Physics - Electrostatics Question 217 English

Multiple Choice Options

  • A E→ changes, V remains unchanged
  • B E→ remains unchanged, V changes
  • C both E→ and V change
  • D E→ and V remain unchanged

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

As shown in the figure, the resultant electric fields before and after interchanging the charges will have the same magnitude, but opposite directions.

Also, the potential will be same in both cases as it is a scalar quantity.
