B. The number of field lines on the source charge.
Answer:
1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint is - 2.9 x
J
2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x
J
Explanation:
given information:
= 3 nC = 3 x
C
= 2 nC = 2 x
C
r = 50 cm = 0.5 m
the electric potential energy of the electron when it is at the midpoint
potential energy of the charge, F
F = k 
where
k = constant (8.99 x
)
electron charge,
= - 1.6 x
C
since it is measured at the midpoint,
r = 
= 0.25 m
thus,
F = 
= k
+ k
=
(
)
= (8.99 x
)( - 1.6 x
)(3 x
+2 x
)/0.25
= - 2.9 x
J
the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge
= 10 cm = 0.1 m
= 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m
F = k
+ k
=
(
+
)
= (8.99 x
)( - 1.6 x
)(3 x
/0.1+2 x
/0.4)
= - 5.04 x
J
I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."
I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>
