Question
Identical 4.0-uC (microCoulomb) charges are placed on the y axis at y = +/-4.0 m. (plus or minus 4.0 m) Point A is on the x axis at x = +3.0 m. Determine the electric potential of point A (relative to zero at the origin).

Answer:
Explanation:
Distance of charges placed on y axis from given point on x axis
= √ (3² + 4² )
= 5 m
Potential at point A due to given charge
= Q / 4πε₀ R
Potential due to each of charges
= 4 x 10⁻⁶ x 9 x 10⁹ / 5 [ 1/ 4πε₀ = 9 x 10⁹ ]
= 7.2 x 10³ V
Potential due to both the charges
= 2 x 7.2 x 10³
= 14.4 kV .
