Question

Transcribed Image Text:A particle with charge -40.0 nC is on the x axis at the
point with coordinate x=0. A second particle, with
charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x = 0.500 m. There
is a point between x 0 and x 500 mm where the
electric field is zero. Is the electric potential zero at
this point?
1. No; it is positive.
2. Yes.
3.
No; it is negative.
