Question: The two charges in the figure below are separated by d = 2.50 cm. (Let q 1 = 14.0 nC and q 2 = 27.5

The two charges in the figure below are separated by d = 2.50 cm.

(Let q1 = 14.0 nC and q2 = 27.5 nC.)

Two charges and two points lie along the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length d (interior angle 60.0).

  • Negative charge q1 is at the bottom left vertex.
  • Positive charge q2 is at the bottom right vertex.
  • Point A is at the top vertex.
  • Point B is on the bottom edge, midway between q1 and q2.

(a) Find the electric potential at point A. _____kV (b) Find the electric potential at point B, which is halfway between the charges. _____kV
