Question
A 42.0-nC charge is placed at the origin and a 74.0-nC charge is placed on the +x-axis, 2.20 cm from the origin.
a. What is the electric potential at a point on the +x-axis 3.40 cm from the origin?
b. How much work does it take for an external agent to move a 45.0-nC charge from a point on the +x-axis, 3.40 cm from the origin to a point halfway between the 42.0-nC and 74.0-nC charges?
