Q4 / 142 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Electrostatics

Two thin rings each of radius R are placed at a distance  d apart. The charges on the rings are +q and −q. The potential difference between their centres will be -

Figure

  • A
    qR4πε0d2
  • Correct answer
    B
    q2πε01R-1R2+d2
  • C
    zero
  • D
    q4πε01R-1R2+d2

Solution

VA=kqR-kqR2+d2

VB=-kqR-+  +k2R2+d2-

∴VA-VB=2kqR-2kqR2+d2

∴VA-VB=q2πε01R-1R2+d2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
