Question

The drawing shows a square, each side of which has a length of L = 0.250 m. Two different positive charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are fixed at the corners of the square. Find the electric potential energy of a third charge $q_3 = -4.00 \times 10^{-9}$ C placed at corner A and then at corner B.

Step 1

The electric potential energy between two point charges is given by: $EPE = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r}$ where k is Coulomb's constant ($8.99 \times 10^9 N m^2/C^2$), $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges, and r is the distance between them. At point A, the distances Show more…
