Two charges lie on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at 14.3m What is the potential (relative to infinity) due to these charges at a point at 7.1m measured from the origin on the x-axis?

 V = 2.52 10³ V

Explanation:

The electric potential for a point charge is

       V = k ∑

In this case the formula is

       V = k ()

distances are the absolute value

       r₁ =√ (7.1 -0)² = 7.1 m

       r₁ =√ (7.1 - 14.3)² = 7.2 m

we substitute

       V = 9 10⁹ (q₁ / 7.1 + q₂ / 7.2)

we have two possibilities

* different charges

         V = 9 10⁹ (q₁ / 7.1 + q₂ / 7.2)

* equal charges and same sign

          q₁ = q₂ = q

         V = 9 10⁹ q (1 / 7.1 + 1 / 7.2) = p 9 10⁹   0.2797

         V = 2.52 10⁹ q

if we assume a value of the charge, for example q = 1 10⁻⁶ c

           V = 2.52 10⁹ 1 10⁻⁶

            V = 2.52 10³ V

they are non-matter

explanation:

they are non-matter. basically, any type of energy or any abstract concept is an example of something that does not matter. other examples include dreams, magnetism, radio, and hate

your answer is, orbit around the nucleus
