The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is
1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,
The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is
The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.
2)
Answer:
The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of block = 0.221 kg
Spring constant k = 5365 N/m
Distance x = 0.097 m
We need to calculate the height
Using stored energy in spring
...(I)
Using gravitational potential energy
....(II)
Using energy of conservation
Where, k = spring constant
m = mass of the block
x = distance
g = acceleration due to gravity
Put the value in the equation
Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
