The electric field at the origin is along the positive x-axis. A small circle is drawn with the centre at the origin cutting the axes at points A, B, C and D having coordinates (a, 0), (0, a), (-a, 0), (0, -a) respectively. Out of the points on the periphery of the circle, the potential is minimum at.
