Electric Potential
 

Electric Potential problem 12


  • Define electric potential at a point.


  • Two isolated point charges A and B are separated by a distance of , as shown in the figure below.




    The charge at A is . The variation with distance from A along AB of the potential is shown in the graph below.




    • State the value of at which the potential is zero.


    • Use your answer in (i) to determine the charge at B.
