Calculating electic potential charges on point particles
Two point particles, each with charge Q, are placed at positions +- a x.
A) What is the elctric potential anywhere along the y axis?
B) How much energy does it take to move a thrid particle, charge Q, from infinity to a position in order to make an equilateral triangle among the charges? (ie. all edges have length 2a)

A) uppose at position y, the potential due to the charge at a will be k*Q/Sqrt(y*y+a*a),where k=1/(4*pi*(dielectric constant))
Similarly, the potential due to the ...
Solution Summary
Energy that is estimated in two point particles are given. How much energy it takes to move a third particle is determined.
