Question
Two charges, 
q1 = −11 nC
 and 
q2 = 29.5 nC,
 are separated by a distance 
d = 2.50 cm
 as shown in the figure.
Two charges and two points lie along the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length d (interior angle 60.0°).
  • Negative charge q1 is at the bottom left vertex.
  • Positive charge q2 is at the bottom right vertex.
  • Point A is at the top vertex.
  • Point B is on the bottom edge, midway between q1 and q2.
Determine the following.
(a)
the electric potential (in kV) at point A
  kV
(b)
the electric potential (in kV) at point B, which is halfway between the charges
