Answer:
a) the total electric potential is 2282000 V
b) the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V
Explanation:
Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the image below;
a) Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the origin.
We know that; electric potential due to multiple charges is equal to sum of electric potentials due to individual charges
so
Electric potential at p in the diagram 1 below is;
Vp = V1 + V2
Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2
we know that; Coulomb constant, k = 9 × 10⁹ C
q1 = 4.60 uC = 4.60 × 10⁻⁶ C
r1 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m
q2 = -2.06 uC = -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ C
location x2 = −1.80 cm; so r2 = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m
so we substitute
Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0125 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.018 )
Vp = (3312000) + ( -1030000 )
Vp = 3312000 -1030000
Vp = 2282000 V
Therefore, the total electric potential is 2282000 V
b)
the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm).
As illustrated in the second image;
r1² = 0.015² + 0.0125²
r1 = √[ 0.015² + 0.0125² ]
r1 = √0.00038125
r1 = 0.0195
Also
r2² = 0.015² + 0.018²
r2 = √[ 0.015² + 0.018² ]
r2 = √0.000549
r2 = 0.0234
Now, Electric Potential at P in the second image below will be;
Vp = V1 + V2
Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2
we substitute
Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0195 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.0234 )
Vp = 2123076.923 + ( -762962.962 )
Vp = 2123076.923 -792307.692
Vp = 1330769.23 V
Therefore, the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V
