      As shown in the figure, charges +q and - q are placed at the vertices B and C of an isosceles triangle. The potential at the vertex A is

    A) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{2q}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\]           

    B) \[\text{zero}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{q}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\]              

    D) \[\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}.\frac{(-q)}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Potential at a point on the broad side due to dipole is zero. Thus, potential at A will be zero due to dipole BC.
