Problem 45P
Two point charges are on the x axis. Charge 1 is +q and is located at x = −1.0 m; charge 2 is −2q and is located at x = 1.0 m. Make sketches of the equipotential surfaces for this system (a) out to a distance of about 2.0 m from the origin and (b) far from the origin, In each case, indicate the direction in· which the potential increases.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2:
The sketches of the equipotential surfaces for this system if the two point charges are on the x axis. Charge 1 is +q and is located at x = ?1.0 m; charge 2 is ?2q and is located at x = 1.0 m.
