Question

Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.) A charge Qi = 2.22 pC is at a distance d = 1.63 m from a second charge q2 = -5.67 pC. Find the electric potential is zero. If the total potential at a location has to be zero, what conclusion can you draw the individual potentials at the location due to q1 and q2?

Explanation / Answer

V at x distance from q1 =Kq1/x - Kq2/(d-x) =0

(d-x)/x =q2/q1

d/x =1 +q2/q1 =1 +5.67/2.22 =3.55

x= d/3.55 =0.459 m (ans)
