Step 1

Given:

Charge, Q1 = -3.0 μC = -3.0 × 10-6 Ccharge, Q2 = -8.0 μC = -8.0 × 10-6 C horizontal distance, S = 0.045 mmass of particle, m = 7.2 ×10-3 kgInitial speed of particle, v0 = 65 m/s

Solution:

We know that, from the conservation of energy we have:

K.Ei + P.Ei = K.Ef + P.Ef12mv02 + kq1q2r = 0 +  kq1q2x12mv02 + kq1q2r=kq1q2xwhere, x is the distance of point B to charge Q1
