The Three Point Charges Shown in the Figure Form an Equilateral

question 49

Multiple Choice

The three point charges shown in the figure form an equilateral triangle with sides $4.9 \mathrm {~cm}$ long. What is the electric potential (relative to infinity) at the point indicated with the dot, which is equidistant from all three charges? Assume that the numbers in the figure are all accurate to two significant figures. $\left( k = 1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon _ { 0 } = 9.0 \times 10 ^ { 9 } \mathrm {~N} \cdot \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } / \mathrm { C } ^ { 2 } \right)$

A condition where there is an excess of dopamine activity in the brain, often associated with disorders such as schizophrenia.

Hallucinations

Sensory experiences that appear real but are created by the mind, without any external presence of the actual stimulus.

Dopamine Receptors

Proteins located on the surface of neurons in the brain that bind to dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in reward, motivation, and many aspects of behavior.
