Homework Statement
A point charge of -8 µC is at the origin. What is the electric potential at
(a) (3.0m, 0),
(b) (-3.0m, 0), and
(c) (3.0m, -3.0m)?
Homework Equations
V=kq/r
The Attempt at a Solution
a & b) V=(8.99x10^9)(-8x10^-6)/3
V= -23973.3
c) V=(8.99x10^9(-8x10^-6)/6
I understand part a and b and got the correct answer. However, for part c, the only thing I am doing different is r=6 instead of 3 because the coordinates are (3.0m, -3.0m) and I am not getting the correct answer. I don't really understand. Thank you.
