Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Distance,
Charge,
Constant,
Formula Used:
The formula for the electric potential is given by,
Here, k is the constant, q is the charge, r is the distance.
The formula for work is given by,
Here, W is the required work done, and
Calculation:
For mid-way, calculate the potential.
Calculate the r1 ,
Substitute the values.
For 12 cm away,
and,
Now, calculate the potential,
Calculate change in electric potential.
Calculate the work done.
Conclusion:
Thus, the work done required is 0.512 J.
