Electric Potential Energy of Point Charges

Mark
< Prev
Next >

Three point charges are positioned in the xy-plane: q1=2.0 μCq_1 = 2.0\ \mu \mathrm{C} at (0, 0), q2=−3.0 μCq_2 = -3.0\ \mu \mathrm{C} at (3.0 m, 0), and q3=4.0 μCq_3 = 4.0\ \mu \mathrm{C} at (0, 4.0 m). What is the total electric potential energy of this system of charges? Use k=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2k = 8.99 \times 10^9\ \mathrm{N \cdot m^2/C^2}.
