Solution Preview
A +3.0 charge is at and a -1.0 charge is at .
At what point or points on the x-axis is the electric potential zero?
X = ___________ cm
Electric potential at distance r from a point charge q is given by
A) Lat the point is at x = x (x> 4 cm)the potential is zero.
Potential due to positive charge at that point is given by
And field due to negative charge will be
As the net potential at the point will be
Or
Gives 3x - 0.12 = x
Gives x = 0.06 m = 6 cm
B) Lat the point is at x = x (x< 4 cm)the potential is zero.
Potential due to positive charge at that point is given by
And field due to negative charge will be
As the net potential at the point will be
Or
Gives 0.12 -3x = x
Gives x = 0.03 m = 3 cm
Thus the potential is zero at x = 3 cm and x = 6 cm.
A -2.0 charge and a +2.0 charge are ...
