Hi there!

Recall the equation for electric potential of a point charge:

V = \frac{kQ}{r}

V = Electric potential (V)
k = Coulomb's Constant(Nm²/C²)

Q = Charge (C)
r = distance (m)

We can begin by solving for the given electric potentials. Remember, charge must be accounted for. Electric potential is also a SCALAR quantity.

Upper right charge's potential:

V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-5 * 10^{-9})}{0.04} = -1123.75 V

Lower left charge's potential:

V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(5*10^{-9})}{0.02} = 2247.5 V

Add the two, and subtract from the total EP at the point:

3160 + 1123.75 - 2247.5 = 2036.25


The remaining charge must have a potential of 2036.25 V, so:

2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(Q)}{\sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.04^2}}\\\\2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)Q}{0.0447} \\\\Q = 0.000000010127 = \boxed{10.13nC}

Stellar nurseries, such as the orion nebula, contain hundreds or more fragmenting and contracting regions, as well as many proto

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a stable star.

<h3>How does a protostar become a stable star?</h3>

The interstellar medium can sometimes be gathered into a large nebula, which is a cloud of gas and dust. A nebula can span a number of light years. These nebulae are where gas and dust can combine to produce stars. Until a star can combine hydrogen into helium, it cannot be considered a star. They are referred to as protostars before then. As gravity starts to gather the gases into a ball, a protostar is created. Accrution is the term for this procedure.

Gravitational energy starts to heat the gasses as gravity draws them into the ball's core, which causes the gasses to radiate radiation. Radiation initially just dissipates into space. However, much of the radiation is retained inside the protostar as it draws in stuff and becomes denser, which causes the protostar to heat up even more quickly.

The hydrogen fusion process will begin after the protostar reaches a temperature of 10 million degrees kelvin, and it will then turn into a star.
