Two charges are placed along the x-axis; 3uC at 14 cm, and -4uC at 15 cm. Find those points along the x-axis where the potential is zero. (u = micro or 10^-6)
Electric potential is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge at a particular point in an electric field.
Electric field is a vector quantity that describes the strength and direction of the force experienced by a charged particle, while electric potential is a scalar quantity that describes the potential energy per unit charge at a particular point in the electric field.
The unit of electric potential is joules per coulomb (J/C) or volts (V).
Electric potential is calculated by dividing the electric potential energy by the charge at a particular point in the electric field. It can also be calculated by multiplying the electric field strength by the distance between two points.
Electric potential is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge at a particular point in the electric field, while electric potential energy is the potential energy of a charged particle due to its position in an electric field.
