Question
Three point charges, Q1 = 15.4 uC, Q2 = -38.6 uC, and Q3 = 57.3 uC, are arranged as shown in the figure. The lengths y and x both equal 60.1 cm. Calculate the electric potential V at point A
Transcribed Image Text:The diagram illustrates a configuration of three point charges arranged in a square formation. The charges are labeled \( Q_1 \), \( Q_2 \), and \( Q_3 \).
- **\( Q_1 \)**: Positioned at the top left of the square, it has a positive charge, indicated by a red sphere with a plus sign.
- **\( Q_2 \)**: Located at the bottom left corner, it carries a negative charge, shown as a blue sphere with a minus sign.
- **\( Q_3 \)**: Placed at the bottom right, this charge is also positive, indicated by a red sphere with a plus sign.
At the top right corner of the square, there is an unlabeled point \( A \), represented as a small, gray sphere.
The diagram consists of dashed lines forming the square edges, denoting the positioning of the charges in relation to each other. The horizontal distance across the square is labeled \( x \), and the vertical distance is labeled \( y \).
This setup is typical for analyzing electric forces or fields in physics, utilizing the principles of electrostatics to explore interactions between the charges.
Expert Solution
Step 1: Given
Q1 =15.4 μC. , Q2 =−38.6 μC
, Q3 =57.3 μC &
x = y = 60.1cm
= 0.601 m
