What is the direction of the potential at point P with respect to the system in the figure? (Take as ε0=8,85.10^(-12)C^2/Nm^2, q=3C, a=2m)

 

 
 a)

is in the 4th direction

 B)

is in the 1 direction

 NS)

is in the 3 direction

 D)

is in the 2 direction

 TO)

is non-directional

Expert Solution
Step 1

The figure has not been attached to the question.

Even the, it is known that even though the electric field and electric forces are vector quantities, electric potential is a scalar quantity.
