Transcribed Image Text:The two charges in the figure below are separated by d= 3.50 cm. (Let q,- -20.0 nC and q2 - 29.0 nC.) (a) Find the electric potential at point A. kV (b) Find the electric potential at point B, which is halfway between the charges.
Expert Solution
Step 1

electric potential at any point in an electric field is the minimum work done to bring a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.

V=kqr               ......(1)

where k is coulomb's constant

           r is the distance of the point from the charge q
