Question

In the diagram below, the two charges $q_1 = +q$ and $q_2 = -2q$ are fixed in place. The distance between them is $d = 5.30$ m. Find the distance $x$ of the point A on the horizontal line where the net electric potential due to the two charges is zero. 1.77 What is the electric potential due to a point charge at a particular distance from it? Did you consider the sign of the charges when calculating the electric potential? m

Step 1

Step 1: The electric potential due to a point charge is given by: $$V = \frac{kq}{r}$$ where $k$ is Coulomb's constant, $q$ is the charge, and $r$ is the distance from the charge. Show more…
