Three point charges, -6.3 x 10-9 C, -9.4 x 10-9 C, and +7.1 x 10-9 C,...

Three point charges, -6.3 x 10-9 C, -9.4 x 10-9 C, and +7.1 x 10-9 C, are fixed at different positions on a circle. The total electric potential at the center of the circle is -2000 V. What is the radius of the circle?

Answer #1

  Total electrical potential is sum of the potentials due to each charge at the center of the circle .

V = k { q1/r1 + q2/r2 + q3 /r3}

V = 9e9 {-6.3 -9.4+7.1}*1 e-9/ r

-2000= -77.4/r

R= 0.0387m
