Point charges Q1 = + 2·10-6 C and Q2 = -6·10-6 C are fixed on the xaxis at x = -14 m and x = +14 m, respectively.

a.) Sketch the electric potential (voltage) on the x axis for thissystem.
(NOT FOR CREDIT -- but essential for the next parts.)

b.) Your sketch should show that there is a point on the x axisbetween the two charges where V=0.

Is this point closer to Q1 or Q2?
Choose one answer: 1. Q1 2. Q2 3. Neither its equidistant fromboth. 4. Not enough info

Does this make sense?
Please Explain: _______________________


Looking at your graph, is there an electric field at thispoint?
Choose one answer: 1. yes 2. no 3. not enough info

c.) Find the x coordinate of the point referred to in part b.
Answer: _____ m

d.) A +2 millicoulomb charge placed at rest at this point wouldhave:

a potential energy of: Answer: _____J (Anything significant aboutthis value?)
a kinetic energy of: Answer: _____ J
and it will move:
Choose one answer: 1. +x direction 2. -x direction 3. will not movesince PE=0 or 4. not enough info

e.) When this charge passes through the origin, it will have:

a potential energy of: Answer: _____ J
a kinetic energy of: Answer: _____ J
