Three Point Charges Are Placed at the Following Points in a Horizontal

question 105

Short Answer

Three point charges are placed at the following points in a horizontal x-y plane: $+ 4.0 \mu \mathrm { C }$ is at $( 0.00 \mathrm {~m} , 0.50 \mathrm {~m} )$ $+ 1.0 \mu \mathrm { C }$ is at $( 0.20 \mathrm {~m} , 0.00 \mathrm {~m} )$ and $- 5.0 \times \mu C$ is at $( 0.20 \mathrm {~m} , 0.50 \mathrm {~m} )$ Calculate the electrical potential (relative to infinity)at the origin due to these three point charges.(k = 1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ N ∙ m²/C²)
