AP Physics 2hardmcq1 pt

The electric potential at the midpoint between two equal positive charges is:

A.Maximum
B.Minimum
C.Equal to the potential of one charge
D.Zero

Explanation

Core Concept

Electric potential is a scalar quantity and adds algebraically. At the midpoint, the potentials from both charges add together, creating a maximum (not zero, unlike the electric field which cancels).

Correct Answer

AMaximum
