Finding the potential difference?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around calculating the potential difference between two points A(3.0, 4.0, 12.0) and B(2.0, 2.0, 2.0) in a region with a volume charge density defined as pv = 1/r^2 µC/m³, where 1.0m < r < 1.5m. Participants emphasize the importance of showing one's own work to receive assistance, indicating that this problem is likely part of a homework assignment. The context suggests a focus on electrostatics and potential difference calculations in physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrostatics principles
  • Familiarity with potential difference calculations
  • Knowledge of volume charge density concepts
  • Basic vector calculus for spatial coordinates
NEXT STEPS

Hi anyone can solve this problem?

A volume charge density of pv= 1/r^2 uC/m^3 exists in the region bounded by
1.0m < r < 1.5m. Find the potential difference between the point A(3.0, 4.0, 12.0) and
the point B (2.0, 2.0, 2.0).

Anyone can show me the solution for this problem?

To get help you should show your own work, show that you actually tried to solve it instead of coming here and asking others to do it.

And this should probably go in the homework section.
