As we discussed in

Potential Difference -

V_{B}-V_{A}=\frac{w}{q}

-

 

 Charge on the element

dQ = \frac{Q}{L}dx

Potential at 0

    dV = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}\frac{dQ}{x} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}\frac{Q}{Lx}dx

\int dV = \int_{L}^{2L}\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}\frac{Q}{Lx} dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_o}\frac{Q}{L}[lnx]_{L}^{2L}

V = \frac{Q ln2}{4\pi\epsilon_o L}

 

 


Option 1)

\frac{QIn2}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}L}

Option 2)

\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon _{0}L}

Option 3)

\frac{3Q}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}L}

Option 4)

\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _{0}LIn2}
