Answer 1

here,

charge , Q1 = 3.4 * 10^-6 C is at x1 = 62 cm = 0.62 m

a)

when Q = 55 * 10^-6 C

r = 0.16 m

let the kinetic energy be KE

KE = K * Q * Q1 * ( 1 /x1 - 1/(x1 + r))

KE = 9 * 10^9 * 3.4 * 10^-6 * 55 * 10^-6 * ( 1/0.62 - 1/0.78)

KE = 0.56 J

b)

when Q = - 55 * 10^-6 C

r = 0.16 m

let the kinetic energy be KE

KE = K * Q * Q1 * ( 1 /(x1 - r ) - 1/(x1))

KE = 9 * 10^9 * 3.4 * 10^-6 * 55 * 10^-6 * ( 1/(0.62 - 0.16) - 1/0.62)

KE = 0.94 J
