A point charge q1=+5.00nC is at the fixed position x=0, y=0, z=0. You find that you must do 8.10×10−6J of work to bring a second point charge from infinity to the position x=+4.00cm, y=0, z=0. What is the value of the second charge?

The value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.

Electric potential

The work done in moving the charge from infinity to the given position is calculated as follows;

W = Eq₂

E = W/q₂

Magnitude of second charge

The magnitude of the second charge is determined by applying Coulomb's law.

[tex]E = \frac{kq_2}{r^2} \\\\\frac{kq_2}{r^2} = \frac{W}{q_2} \\\\kq_2^2 = Wr^2\\\\q_2^2 = \frac{Wr^2}{k} \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{Wr^2}{k} } \\\\q_2 = \sqrt{\frac{(8.1 \times 10^{-6}) \times (0.04)^2}{9\times 10^9} } \\\\q_2 = 1.2 \times 10^{-9} \ C\\\\q_2 = 1.2 \ nC[/tex]

Thus, the  value of the second charge is 1.2 nC.
