A filament running along the x axis from the origin to x = 80.0 cm carries electric charge with uniform density. At the point P with coordinates (x = 80.0 cm, y = 80.0 cm), this filament creates electric potential 100 V. Now we add another filament along the y axis, running from the origin to y = 80.0 cm, carrying the same amount of charge with the same uniform density. At the same point P, is the electric potential created by the pair of filaments (a) greater than 200 V, (b) 200 V, (c) 100 V, (d) between 0 and 200 V, or (e) 0?
