$A$ 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.

Two thin concentric hollow conducting spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ bear charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively. If $R_1 < R_2$,then the potential of a point at a distance $r$ from the centre $(R_1 < r < R_2)$ is

The electric potential at a point at a distance $x$ from the center inside a conducting sphere of radius $R$ charged with charge $Q$ is:

Four electric charges $+q, +q, -q$ and $-q$ are placed in order at the corners of a square of side $2r$. The electric potential at a point $P$ midway between the two negative charges is:
