Question
The drawings show three charges that have the same magnitude but may have different signs. In all cases the distance d between the charges is the same. The magnitude of the charges is |q| = 8.6 μC, and the distance between them is d = 3.8 mm. Determine the magnitude of the net force on charge 2 for each drawing. Calculate the electric potential energy with configuration of charges on the figures.

- The shaded region in the diagram is a region of uniform electric field. A negative charge Q = -2μC experiences a force in the region as shown by the arrow. At which point (A or B) does the charge have lower electric potential energy? Neglect gravity. i в. F None of the answer choices is correct. The charge has the same potential energy at both points A and B since the electric field is uniform (constant). O Point B has lower potential energy.
