Question



The lines show the equipotential contours in the plane of three point charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3. The values of the potentials are in kV as indicated for the +5, 0, and -5 kV contours. The positions of the charges are indicated by the dots.


A.Calculate the work performed by an external agent to move a charge of -0.39x10-12C from `i' to `b'.


B.Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at `g' .


C.Calculate the magnitude of the force on a charge of 3.20E-19 C at `k'.


D.Calculate the magnitude of Q3. The magnitudes of the three charges are in the exact ratios of 1 to 2 to 3.


I have asked this question before and keep getting it wrong! PLEASE HELP!!!
