    $0$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} Q^2 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} Q^2 / \pi \varepsilon_0 a$
  • D

If the electric potential at a point on the surface of a hollow conducting sphere of radius $R$ is $V$,then the electric potential at a point which is at distance $\frac{R}{3}$ from the centre of the sphere is

$A$ charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0, x = 3x_0, x = 5x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$ on the $X$-axis and a charge $-q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = 2x_0, x = 4x_0, x = 6x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$. Here $x_0$ is a positive constant. Taking the potential at a point due to a charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ from it to be $\frac{Q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r}$,find the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges.
