In this exercise you will figure out the equipotential point/points(s)/line/surface in the xy plane where V = 0 for two point charges of charge q and -2q found respectively at (x,y,z) = (-1,0,0) and (x,y,z) = (1,0,0), and draw the result on Fig. ??.
(a) Given that V is a scalar, equipotentials generally form surfaces in three di- mensions. This contrasts with the electric field, where we found only one position where it was zero for a pair of point charges. In the x-y plane for the two charges shown, do we expect a point, two points or a line where V = 0?
(b) Make a guess where the potential should be zero. Should it be zero closer to the smaller or larger charge? Why?
(c) Assign a label (x,y) to a general point in the x-y plane
a) at x=-2l potential is zero, so it's a point in xy plane
b)it should be closer to the smaller charge (2q) because potential is directly proportional to the amount of charge and in versely proportional to the distance, thus for same q/r ratio , for smaller charge r should be small

where c> 0 ro The electric field in the xy-plane due to an infinite line of charge along the z-axis is a gradient field with a potential function V(x,y)=c In Vx2 + y2 is a constant and ro is a reference distance at which the potential is assumed to be 0.

Equipotential Lines The lines in the figure below show the equipotential contours in the plane of three point charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3. Note that these are point charges (one is not bigger in size than the others; they're points). That means that the potential goes to infinity as you approach them. We've cut off the contours at plus and minus 7kV. The white space is where the potential is greater or less than that. The values of the equipotential...
We observe two point charges in the yz-plane: one of them has charge 2q and is located in (x,y,z)-(0,0,a) and the other has a charge of -3q and is located in (x,y,z)-(0,b,a) a) Calculate the dipole moment p, and p, for the two charges around (0,0,0), and sketch for a-2, b-3, c -1, the vector for the total dipole moment p for the configuration In addition to the two point charges, we now have an infinite grounded conductor placed in...
