And to make the potential zero at the point P, there should be electric potential at opposite
(-y)direction due to the charged particle at (x,y)=(0,L)
So how to make electric potential zero at P?
The direction of electric potential due to the semicircle is in +y direction. Because the Vx components will cancel due to the symmetry. Like in the image.
Because, the electric potential due to the semicircle at P point is (kQ/R) and, due to the q charge is (kq/L). So I equalized them. Is that wrong for electric potential?
