Consider a system of three charged particles. In this chapter, we will be finding the electric potential energy of a system of point charges. Describe the similarities and differences for this process, compared to finding the electric force on a charge due to a system of point charges. Make a bullet pointed list.
1. electric potential energy is a scalar quantity without a direction but electric force is a vector quantity having direction.
2. electric potential energy can be negative but electric force being a vector has magnitude which is always positive and have direction as well.
3. electric potential energy is of system so what matters is charges on point charges and distances between them but for electric force only distance between on given charge and other charges od system matter.
4. to find electric potential energy, all energies due to any two point charges are algebraically added with sign but same cannot be done for electric force.

The three charged particles in the figure below are at the vertices of an isosceles triangle (where d = 4.60 cm). Taking q = 8.30 mu C, calculate the electric potential at point A, the midpoint of the base. Superposition allows us to determine the electric potential due to each charge and then sum them to find the total electric potential. V
