Charges...electrical point

[becca]

Two point charges with the values of 3.4 microC and 6.6 microC are separated by 0.10 m. What is the electrical potential at the pont midway between the two point charges? (kc= 8.99 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)
Please help me out!

The potential at a distance "r" from a point charge of Q is given by:
V = \frac{kQ}{r}

The potential at a distance "r" from a point charge of Q is given by:
V = \frac{kQ}{r}


V= -kQ/r i just added a negative sign to it to make it more sophesticated

[Doc Al]

V= -kQ/r i just added a negative sign to it to make it more sophesticated
The minus sign is incorrect. The potential increases as you get closer to a positive charge. (The zero potential is taken to be at r = ∞.)

He might of been thinking about E= -dv/dx... kinda like F= -dU/dx...
