Learning Goal: To be able to interpret potential energy diagrams and predict the corresponding motion of a particle. Potential energy diagrams for a particle are useful in predicting the motion of that particle. These diagrams allow one to determine the direction of the force acting on the particle at any point, the points of stable and unstable equilibrium, the particle's kinetic energy, etc. Consider the potential energy diagram shown. (Figure 1) The curve represents the value of potential energy U...

Problem 4 (12 points): Consider the configuration consisting a + charge and two - charges aligned along the c-axis as follows: -9 +4 -9 where the charges are separated by a distance d.
