Points A and B are 0.10 m apart. A point charge of +3.0 x 10-9 C is placed at A and a
point charge of -1.0 x 10-9 C is placed at B.
I. X is the point on the straight line through A and B, between A and B, where the
electric potential is zero. Calculate the distance AX.
II. Show on a diagram the approximate position of a point, Y, on the straight line
through A and B where the electric field strength is zero.( no calculation is
expected)
Charge at A,
Charge at B,
Potential at X due to charge
Potential at X due to charge
Total electric potential at X is equal to 0
(II)
