Question
The image represents an exercise involving two point charges and the calculation of electric potential at specific points.

### Description:

The two charges in the figure are separated by a distance \( d = 2.50 \, \text{cm} \). The charges are \( q_1 = -14 \, \text{nC} \) and \( q_2 = 29.5 \, \text{nC} \).

**Figure Explanation:**

- The geometric configuration forms a triangle:
  - Points \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are positioned horizontally, with separation \( d \).
  - Point \( A \) is positioned above the midpoint of the line joining \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) forming an equilateral triangle.
  - Point \( B \) is located directly on the line joining \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \), halfway between the two charges.
- The triangle formed has angles of \( 60.0^\circ \) at point \( B \).

### Questions:

**(a)** Find the electric potential at point \( A \).

**(b)** Find the electric potential at point \( B \), which is halfway between the charges.

The answers to both questions should be provided in kilovolts (kV).
