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

What is electric potential?

The electric potential is defined as the amount of work energy needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to a specific point in an electric field.

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

Electric potential at p in diagram 1 below is;

[tex]V_P=V_1+V_2[/tex]

[tex]Vp = \dfrac{kq_1}{r_1} + \dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}[/tex]

we know that; the 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;

[tex]r_1^2=0.015^2+0.0125^2[/tex]

[tex]r_1 = \sqrt{[ 0.015^2 + 0.0125^2 ][/tex]

[tex]r_1 = \sqrt{0.00038125}[/tex]

[tex]r_1 = 0.0195[/tex]

Also

[tex]r_2^2 = 0.015^2 + 0.018^2[/tex]

[tex]r_2 = \sqrt{0.015^2 + 0.018^2}[/tex]

[tex]r_2 = \sqrt{0.000549[/tex]

[tex]r_2 = 0.0234[/tex]

Now, Electric Potential at P in the second image below will be;

Vp = V1 + V2

[tex]Vp = \dfrac{kq_1}{r_1} + \dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}[/tex]

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
