To find the electric potential at point P(1, -2, -1) due to the three charges \( q_1 = 1 \mu C \), \( q_2 = -2 \mu C \), and \( q_3 = -1 \mu C \) located at points A(0, 0, 0), B(-1, 2, 3), and C(2, -1, 1) respectively, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the distances from point P to each charge. We will use the distance formula in three-dimensional space, which is given by: \[ r = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2} \] ...

Three charges q_(1) = 1 mu C, q_(2) = -2 muC and q_(3) = 3mu C are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side 1.0 m. find the net electric force acting on charge q_(1) . How to proceed Charge q_(2) will attract charge q_(1) (along the line joining them) and charge q_(3) will repel charge q_(1) . Therefore, two forces will act on q_(1) , one due to q_(2) and another due to q_(3) . Since , the force is a vector quantity both of these force (say F_(1) and F_(2) ) will be added by vector method. Following are two methods of their addition
