The electric potential at a position located a distance of 21.9 mm from a positive point charge of 8.40×10^-9C and 10.3 mm from a second point charge is 1.26 kV. Calculate the value of the second charge. The potential at a position is the sum of the individual contributions to the potential by each of the 2 charges. The sign is important. Calculate the potential due to the first charge. The difference is due to the second charge.
we know the electric potential due to point charges is
Putting given values we can find q2
