Consider a charge of q1 μC 7 fixed with a site near another charge of q2 μC 6. Evaluate the potential energy of q2, when the distance of q2 is 4 cm from charge q1?
Added by Miharu A.
Step 1
We know that the potential energy (U) between two charges is given by the formula: U = (k * q1 * q2) / r where k is the electrostatic constant (8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between them. Show more…

Consider a positive charge Q1 of magnitude 3 μμ fixed at the origin with another positive charge Q2 of magnitude 1.5 μμ moving near it. Charge Q2 has a mass of 5.5 g. Where applicable, let the potential energy be zero when charges are very far apart from each other. a. What is the potential energy of Q2 when it is 2.6 cm from Q1? PEQ2 = 1.55 J. b. If Q2 is released from rest at 2.6 cm from Q1, how fast is it moving when it reaches 6 cm from Q1? vQ2 = 50.6693 m/s.

Consider a positive charge Q1 of magnitude 5.5 µC fixed at the origin with another positive charge Q2 of magnitude 8.5 µC moving near it. Charge Q2 has a mass of 4 g. Where applicable, let the potential energy be zero when charges are very far apart from each other. a. What is the potential energy of Q2 when it is 5 cm from Q1? b. If Q2 is released from rest at 5 cm from Q1, how fast is it moving when it reaches 7 cm from Q1?
Two charges Q1 (+5 nC) and Q2 (-7 nC) are separated by 2 cm. Calculate the electric potential at point A. Refer to the figure to the right.
