Electric charges having same magnitude of electricicharge $q$ coulombs are placed at $x=1 \,m , 2 \,m , 4 \,m$, $8 \,m$....... so on. If any two consecutive charges have opposite sign but the first charge is necessarily positive, what will be the potential at $x=0$ ?

  • A

    Infinity

  • B

    Zero

  • C

    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left(\frac{2 q}{3}\right)$

  • D

    $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}(2 q)$
