Two Positive Point Charges +4

question 16

Short Answer

Two positive point charges +4.00 μC and +2.00 μC are placed at the opposite corners of a rectangle as shown in the figure.(k = 1/4πε₀ = 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)
(a)What is the potential at point A (relative to infinity)due to these charges?
(b)What is the potential at point B (relative to infinity)due to these charges?
