Question
Two point charges of +2.0 μC and +4.0 μC are at the origin and at the point x = 0.0 m, y = –0.3 m, as shown in the figure. What is the electric potential due to these charges, relative to infinity, at the point P at x = 0.400 m on the x–axis? Hint: Electric potential adds algebraically and depends on the distance of the source charge from the field point P. Convert μC to standard units first!
