A +4.0- μC charge is placed on the x axis at x = +3.0 m, and a −2.0- μC charge is located on the y axis at y = −1.0 m. Point A i

s on the y axis at y = +4.0 m. Determine the electric potential at point A (relative to zero at the origin).

Answer:

9.6kV

Explanation:

Electric potential is given as

V = k*Q/R

Then the Net electric potential at point A due to given two charges will be:

V_net = V1 + V2

V_net = k*q1/r1 + k*q2/r2

q1 = +4.0*10^-6 C & q2 = -2.0*10^-6 C

r1 = distance between q1 and point A = sqrt (3.0^2 + 4.0^2) = 5.0 m

r2 = distance between q2 and point A = 4.0 - (-1.0) = 5.0 m

Thus,

V_net = k*(q1/r1 + q2/r2)

V_net = 9*10^9*(4.0*10^-6/5.0 - 2.0*10^-6/5.0) = 3600 V

V_net = 3.6 k

To calculate electric potential at origin, then

V0_net = k*q1/R1 + k*q2/R2

R1 = 3.0 m & R2 = 1.0 m, then

V0_net = 9*10^9*(4.0*10^-6/3.0 - 2.0*10^-6/1.0) = -6000 V

generally it is assumed that electric potential at origin is zero, but in this case it's mentioned that we need to recalibrate potential at origin to zero

Now since ask that we need electric potential at point A with relative to zero at the origin, So if we re-calibrate electric potential to zero at the origin, then we need to add 6000 V everywhere, therefore

Net electric potential at Point A = V_net - V0_net = 3600 - (-6000) = 9600 V = 9.6 kV

The arrows in the chart below represent phase transitions.
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1, 2, and 3.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this process, since the phase transitions that require energy are those that pass from a state with less energy or more molecular order to a state with more energy or less molecular order, say, from solid to liquid (melting), from liquid to gas (boiling) and from solid to gas (sublimation), we can conclude that the arrows representing heat energy gained are 1, 2, and 3 since 1 represents boiling, 2 melting and 3 sublimation.

Best regards.
