Question: Question 6 Three charges, + 5 Q , - 5 Q , and + 3 Q are located on the y - axis at y

Question 6
Three charges, +5Q,-5Q, and +3Q are located on the y-axis at y=+4a,y=0, and y=-4a, respectively. The point P is on the x -axis at x=3a.
a) How much energy did it take to assemble these charges?
b) What are the x,y, and z components of the electric field vec(E) at P ?
c) What is the electric potential V at point P , taking V=0 at infinity?
d) A fourth charge of +Q is brought to P from infinity. What are the x,y, and z components of the force vec(F) that is exerted on it by the other three charges?
e) How much work was done (by the external agent) in moving the fourth charge +Q from infinity to P?
