The plan: Video clip of the day Unbalanced Charges Law of cosine review Electric Field Potential
Unbalanced Charges and Fields: Let’s say that we have two positive charges with one being stronger than the other.
Unbalanced Charges and Fields: Let’s say that we have two negative charges with one being stronger than the other.
Unbalanced Charges and Fields: Let’s say that we have two charges. A weak positive charge and a stronger negative charge.
Unbalanced Charges and Fields: Let’s say that we have two charges a strong positive charge and a weaker negative charge.
Example #2: A charge of +6.8 C is 8.2 cm to the left of a charge of –5.4 C. Determine the location of any points that are collinear with the two charges and have zero electric potential difference.
2) Zero Electric Potential
Point #1: Between the Charges
Point #2: To the Right of the Negative Charge
Where else: Positive & Negative Infinity Why? Remember field intensity decreases with distance. In general, the more distance, the less the effect/influence from a static point charge.
