Problem 1C

Three equally-spaced charges of equal magnitude are arranged in a line, as shown. The charge on the right is negative; the other two charges are positive.

If the charges each have a magnitude of 5.0 x 10-6 C, and there is a distance of 0.200 m between neighboring charges, what is the electric potential at the point exactly halfway between the two positive charges?

Next problem : D - Field near two charged spheres.

Previous problem : A - Field from three charges.
