Question

I am confused with this problem, can someone help me please? Thanks.

Two charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, are separated by a distance 2a as shown in the figure. Charge q1 is located at position a rightarrow = ax^, and charge q2 is located at position -a rightarrow = -ax^. Express the electric potential V(r rightarrow)at the position r rightarrow due only to charge q1. Please express your final result in terms of q1,r rightarrow, and a rightarrow. What is the electric potential V2(r rightarrow) at r rightarrow due only to the charge q2? What is the total electric potential V(r rightarrow) due to the presence of both charges?

Explanation / Answer

a.) Kq1/r towards r vector

b.) Kq2/r towards r vector

c.) algebricaly add both the values to get the result
