Identical point charges (+50 x 10 power -6C) are placed at the corners of a square with sides of 2.0-m length. How much external energy is required to bring a fifth identical charge from infinity to the geometric center of the square?

636.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy between one of the charges at the corner of the square and the fifth identical charge is U = kq²/r where q = charge = +50 × 10⁻⁶ C  and r = distance from center of square. = √2 m (since the midpoint of the sides = 1 m, so the distance from the charge at the corner to the center is thus √(1² + 1²) = √2)

Since we have four charges, the additional potential energy to move the charge to the centre of the square is U' = 4U = 4kq²/r

U' = 4kq²/r

= 4 × 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² (+50 × 10⁻⁶ C)²/√2 m

= 900 Nm²/√2 m

= 636.4 J

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.
