Three points A, B and C are a straight line, with the electric potential at A is 320V and at C is 550V. A positively charged particle when released from point at A to point C, it has twice the velocity as compared to that when it is released from point B to point C. Assuming it is released from rest in both cases, find the potential at point B. [492.5 V]
