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
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).
