A charge per unit length given by l(x) = bx, where b = 12 nc/m2, is distributed along the x axis from x = +9.0 cm to x = +16 cm. if the electric potential at infinity is taken to be zero, what is the electric potential at the point p on the y axis at y = 12 cm?

Answer:

easy answer 20 cm

Explanation:a²±b²=c²                                                                                                     (12 cm)²±(16 cm)²=Z²                                                                                                       144 cm²+ 256 cm ²=Z²                                                                                                400 cm²=Z²                                                                                                                    20 cm= Z

The electric potential at the point P on the y axis at y = 12 cm is 20 cm.

What is the electric potential energy?

The electric potential energy denoted by U is proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the distance between the point where its is brought from infinity to the charge.

Given a charge per unit length given by l(x) = bx, where b = 12 nC/m2, is distributed along the x axis from x = +9.0 cm to x = +16 cm. if the electric potential at infinity is taken to be zero,

a²±b²=c²                                                                                                  

(12 cm)²±(16 cm)²=Z²                                                                                                       144 cm²+ 256 cm ²=Z²                                                                                                                                                                                                               Z = 20 cm

Thus, the electric potential at the point P on the y axis at y = 12 cm is 20 cm.
