A point charge q is located at the origin. A charge q 0 can be placed at a point

Question

A point charge q is located at the origin. A charge q0 can be placed at a point P1, which is a distance r from the origin (top drawing). Or, a charge 2q0 can be placed at P2, which is a distance 2r from the origin (bottom drawing). All charges are positive. Which statement is true about the electric potentials due charge q at P1 andP2? (Let me know if the image below is no visible)

Which statement is true about the electric potentials due charge q at P1 andP2? (Let me know if the image below is no visible)

Explanation / Answer

The electric potentialat P1 is greater than that at P2, because ris smaller than 2r.
