Two point charges (+11.20 nC and -11.20 nC) are located 8.00 cm apart. Let U = 0 when all of the charges are separated by infinite distances. What is the potential energy if a third point charge q = -4.20 nC is placed at point b?

Two point charges $(+10.0 \mathrm{nC} \text { and }-10.0 \mathrm{nC})$ are located $8.00 \mathrm{cm}$ apart. For each problem, let $U=0$ when all of the charges are separated by infinite distances. What is the potential energy if a third point charge $q=-4.2 \mathrm{nC}$ is placed at point $c ?$ CAN'T COPY THE FIGURE
