On chag is fix to on con of a squa, an th oth is fix to anoth con. On which cons shoul th chags b lac, so that th sam otntial xists at th mty cons? Giv you asoning.. REASONING AND SOLUTION Th otntial at a oint in sac that is a istanc fom a oint chag q is givn by Equation 9.6: V kq/. Whn mo than on oint chag is snt, th total otntial at any location is th algbaic sum of th iniviual otntials cat by ach chag at that location. A ositiv oint chag an a ngativ oint chag hav qual magnitus. On of th chags is fix to on con of a squa. If th oth chag is lac oosit to th fist chag along th q +Q L iagonal of th squa, thn ach chag will b th sam istanc L fom th mty cons. Th otntial at ach of th mty cons will b L L q Q L k( + Q) k( Q) V + 0 L L Thfo, if th otntial at ach mty con is to b th sam, thn th chags must b lac at iagonally oosit cons as shown in th figu. 4. What oint chags, all having th sam magnitu, woul you lac at th cons of a squa (on chag con), so that both th lctic fil an th lctic otntial (assuming a zo fnc valu at infinity) a zo at th cnt of th squa? Account fo th fact that th chag istibution givs is to both a zo fil an a zo otntial. 4. REASONING AND SOLUTION Fou oint chags of qual magnitu a lac at th cons of a squa as shown in th figu at th ight. Th lctic fil at th cnt of th squa is th vcto sum of th lctic fil at th cnt u to ach of th chags iniviually. Th otntial at th q q cnt of th squa is qual to th algbaic sum of th otntials at th cnt u to ach of th chags iniviually. All fou chags a quiistant fom th cnt (a istanc in th figu). If two iagonal chags hav th sam magnitu an sign, thn th lctic fil at th cnt u to ths two chags hav qual magnitu an oosit ictions. Thi sultant is, thfo, zo. Thus, th lctic fil at th cnt will b zo if ach iagonal ai of chags has th sam magnitu an sign. q 4 q 3 Comil by DJJ Pag of 9 8/7/006

Thus, th otntial u to on iagonal ai of chags must cancl th otntial u to th oth iagonal ai of chags. This will b th cas if th two ais of iagonal chags hav oosit signs. Thus, both th lctic fil an th lctic otntial will b zo at th cnt of th squa if all fou chags hav th sam magnitu, q an q 3 hav th sam sign, an q an q 4 hav th sam sign, which is oosit to th signs of q an q 3. 7.

Suos that w imagin assmbling th systm, on aticl at a tim. If th a no oth chags in th gion, th a no xisting lctic fils; thfo, no wok is qui to ut th fist oton in lac. That oton, howv, givs is to an lctic fil that fills th gion. Its magnitu at a istanc fom th oton is givn by Equation 8.3, E k /, wh + is th magnitu of th chag on th oton. Sinc th gion contains an lctic fil u to th fist oton, th also xists an lctic otntial, an th xtnal agnt must o wok to lac th scon oton at a istanc fom th fist oton. Th lctic otntial ngy of th final configuation is qual to th wok that must b on to bing th scon oton fom infinity an lac it at a istanc fom th fist oton. Th lctic otntial at a istanc fom th fist oton is Voton + k/ (Equation 9.6). Accoing to Equation 9.3, th lctic otntial ngy of th final configuation is thfo k EPE Voton ( + ) + a.
