Question

I have a question regarding two charges on an axis. The problem is as follows: Two particles each with charge +1.79 µC are located on the x axis. One is at x = 1.00 m, and the other is at x = −1.00 m. (a) Determine the electric potential on the y axis at y = 0.520 m. (b) Calculate the change in electric potential energy of the system as a third charged particle of -3.81 µC is brought from infinitely far away to a position on the y axis at y = 0.520 m.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:particles have same charge, q1 = q2 = q = +1.79 μC = +1.79×10-6 Cposition of q1, A(1, 0)mposition of q2, B(-1, 0)mcharge on particle 3, q3 = -3.81×10-6 CAsked:1. Electric potential due to q1 and q2 at point P(0, 0.520)m2. Change in potential energy of system if q3 is brought from infinity to point P.
