Question
- A charge of q1 = 8 * 10-3 C and a charge of q2 = -5 * 10-5 C are separated by 200 cm. The first charge is located at x = 0 cm on the x-axis, and the second charge is located at x = 200 cm on the x-axis.
- Draw a free body diagram of the two charges with each of the two charges labeled with their magnitudes, with the distance between the charges labeled, and with vectors (arrows) representing the force on each of the charges.
- At x = 50 cm on the x-axis, what is the electric potential due to the pair of charges?
- If q2 is moved from x = 200 cm to x = 300 cm, what is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of q2?
- If q2 is moved from x = 200 cm to x = 100 cm, what is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of q2?
- Circle the correct word in parentheses: The potential energy of q2 is increased as it is moved in the (positive, negative) direction along the x-axis.
