2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
medium
Three charges $2 q,-q$ and $-q$ are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. At the center of the triangle
A
the field is zero but potential is non$-$zero.
B
the field is non$-$zero but potential is zero.
C
both field and potential are zero
D
both field and potential are non$-$zero
(AIIMS-2019)
Solution

The electric potential at the center of the triangle is calculated as,
$V=\frac{\sum q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}$
$=\frac{2 q-q-q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}$
$=\frac{0}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}$
$=0$
