A -3.9 nC charge is on the x-axis at x1 = -7cm and a 4.8 nC charge is on the x-axis at x2 = 16cm. At what points on the y-axis is the electric potential zero?
Added by Domingo V.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the electric potential at point P on the y-axis using the formula V = k * (q1 / sqrt(x1^2 + L^2) + q2 / sqrt(x2^2 + L^2)), where k is the Coulomb constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, x1 and x2 are the distances on the x-axis, and L is the distance Show more…
