Two charged point-like objects are located on the x-axis. The point-like object with charge
q1 = 5.80 µC
is located at
x1 = 1.25 cm
and the point-like object with charge
q2 = −2.18 µC
is located at
x2 = −1.80 cm.
(a)
Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the origin.
V
(b)
Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm).
V
charge q1 = 5.80 µC
x1 = 1.25 cm
charge q2 = −2.18 µC
x2 = −1.80 cm.
the total electric potential (in V) at the origin= 1/4 x5.80 µC /0.0125 +1/4 x−2.18 µC/0.018 =
1/4 =9x109
the total electric potential (in V) at the origin =3086000volts
2) direct distance to the point from charge q1 = =1.95cm
direct distance to the point from charge q2 = =2.34cm
the total electric potential (in V) at the (0,1.5)=1/4 x5.80 µC /0.0195 +1/4 x−2.18 µC/0.0234 =1838461.5N
