Two charge particles, A and B, are released from rest. Charged particle A is released from location 1 and charged particle B from location 2. When particle A reaches location 3 it has a speed that is 3 times that of particle B. The electric potentials at location 1 and location 2 are 312 V and 92 V, respectively. The mass of particle A is 1200 times the mass of particle B. The charge of particle A is -1.5 times the charge of particle B. (a) Write down the two equations which describe the kinetic and potential energies of particles A and B. (Hint: Conservation of mechanical energy). (b) Calculate the electric potential at location 3.
