For a given situation, calculate a few observational points for electric potential to determine the geometry of the configuration. a) Calculate the potential at the point P = (0,3,0) due to a +1 nC point charge at P'= (0,1,0). 41 (3-1) = 6.36 estate (3-1)/2=6.36 v = 6.36 V(volts) b) Calculate the potential at the point P = (2, 1, 0) due to a +1 nC point charge at P'= (0,1,0). 4T (2-0-4(-1))/2 = 4.5 v = 4.5 V(volts) c) How does the potential depend on the direction of the measuring point from a point source? It does not depend on not depend on direction because it is scoler d) Describe the 3-dimensional surface on which the electric potential for this point charge is equal to the potential you found for part 6a above.
