Three charged particles of q, = 40.0 nC, q, = -40.0 nC, and q = 20.0 nC are placed on the y-axis, as shown in the figure. Charge q, has the coordinates (0, 8.00 cm), q, has the coordinates (0, -8.00 cm), and q, is located at the origin. (a) Find the electric potential energy (in J) of the configuration of the three fixed charges.
