Two 3.0 μC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at What is the potential (relative to infinity) due to these charges at a point at on the x-axis?

Complete Question:

Two 3.0µC charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 2.0m. A third point is located at 6.0m. What is the potential at this third point relative to infinity? (The value of k is 9.0*10^9 N.m^2/C^2)

The potential due to these charges is 11250 V

Explanation:

Potential V is given as;

where;

K is coulomb's constant = 9x10⁹ N.m²/C²

r is the distance of the charge

q is the magnitude of the charge

The first charge located at the origin, is 6.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

The second charge located at 2.0 m, is 4.0 m from the third charge; the potential at this point is:

Total potential due to this charges  = 4500 V + 6750 V = 11250 V

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
