Answer #1

Potential Energy measures the amount of energy that each charge has. It is given by potential energy= charge * potential difference. Which gives us the energy in joules of each charge. In other words we have a relationship between them as energy of charges = qV where q is the charge and V is the potential difference. In standard unit system 1eV contains Joules. Which is our required answer.

A square with sides of length 0.4 meters has 8 charges on it. Four charge of +q, +q, +q, and -q (same amount of charge for three and one has an opposite sign) are placed in the corners and four charges of twice the magnitude of -2q, -2q, -2q, and +2q are placed halfway in the middle of the sides. Here q = 9 micro-coulombs. (In other words, -q = -9 micro-coulombs and +2q is twice 9 micro-coulombs.) A ninth...
