Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

**Problem Statement**

Consider the point charges \( q_A = 6.0 \, \text{nC} \) and \( q_B = -2.5 \, \text{nC} \). Charge \( q_A \) is located at coordinates \( (2.00 \, \text{m}, 0) \) and charge \( q_B \) is located at \( (0, 3.00 \, \text{m}) \). Calculate the electric potential at point \( P (0, 0) \), expressed in Volts. Note that \( 1.00 \, \text{nC} = 1.00 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \) and use the constant \( K = 9.00 \times 10^9 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2 \).

**Details for Educational Context**

This problem requires an understanding of concepts such as electric charges, potential, and the use of Coulomb’s law to find the electric potential at a given point. The charges are in nanocoulombs (nC), and the conversion to standard SI units is crucial. The electric constant \( K \) is used to compute the resultant electric potential due to point charges at a specific location.
