  • Option 1)

    zero

  • Option 2)

    \frac{Q}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\left [ \frac{1}{R} -\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}\right ]

  • Option 3)

    \frac{QR}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}d^{2}}

  • Option 4)

    \frac{Q}{2\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\left [ \frac{1}{R} -\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}\right ]

As we learnt in

Electric Potential -

V=\frac{w}{q_{0}}

- wherein

w - work done 

q0 - unit charge.

 

 

V_{A}= \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{Q}{R}-\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{Q}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}

V_{B}= \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{\left ( -Q \right )}{R}+\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\frac{Q}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}

\therefore \: \: V_{A}-V_{B}= \frac{1\times Q}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\left [ \frac{2}{R} -\frac{2}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}\right ]

\: \: \: \: = \frac{ Q}{2\pi \varepsilon _{0}}\left [ \frac{1}{R} -\frac{1}{\sqrt{R^{2}+d^{2}}}\right ]

 


Option 1)
