Two point charges are located at two of the vertices of a right triangle, as shown in the Figure 16.4. If a third charge −2q is brought from infinity and placed at the third vertex, what will its electric potential energy be? Use the following values: a = 0.16 m; b = 0.45 m, and q = 2.0 × 10−5 C.
Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
