Question

I have uploaded a picture of the assignment. This seemed easier to show figure. Can you help with this problem? Thanks

Answer 1

2.7*10^4

Explanation:

We calculate the potential at each point, and then calculate the total potential by adding each one, just like this:

`\begin{gathered} V_a=(k\cdot q_a)/(r)=(9\cdot10^9\cdot3\cdot10^(-6))/(2)=1.35\cdot10^4\text{ V} \\ V_b=(k\cdot q_b)/(r)=(9\cdot10^9\cdot3\cdot10^(-6))/(2)=1.35\cdot10^4\text{ V} \\ V_T=V_a+V_b \\ V_T=1.35\cdot10^4+1.35\cdot10^4 \\ V_T=2.7\cdot10^4 \end{gathered}`

The electric potential at point P is 2.7*10^4
