Please Show All Work!

Consider a pair of charged particles with equal charges of q1 = q2= +5.00 μC, separated by a distance of 6.00 m.

a) What is the electric potential at the point directly between them?
b) How much work must we do on a third charge, q3 = +10.0 μC to place it at that point, assuming it comes from very far away?

Answer #1

PART A:

The distance between the charged particles and the point directly between the charges is

So, the potential at that point is

Putting the values in SI units

So, the electric potential at that point is 30000 V.

____________________________________________

PART B:

The work done is equal to

So, the answer to this part is 0.3 J.
