The three charged particles in the figure below are at the vertices of an isosceles triangle (where d = 1.00 cm). Taking q = 6.20
Use Pythagorean's theorem to find the height:
=
Electric potential is given by:
The potential due to the positive charge is:
2881499.61 volts
The potential due to the left charge is:
V2 = kq/0.005 =- 11160000 volts
The potential due to the right charge is the same as V2:
-11160000 Volts
The potential at A is:
-19 438500.39 Volts
