In the diagram, q1 = +2.00 x 10-5 C, q2 = +3.80 x 10-6 C, and q3 = +5.30 x 10-5 C.
What is the electric potential energy, Ue, for
charge qy? Include the correct sign (+ or -).

     U = 3.59 10⁻⁹ J

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is

             U = k ∑

in this case

            U = k (q₁q₂ / r₁₂ + q₁q₃ / r₁₃ + q₂q₃ / r₂₃)

the distances are

            r₁₂ = 1.15

            r₁₃ = 1.15 +2.88 = 4.03 m

            r₂₃23 = 2.88

we substitute

            U = 9 109 (2 10-5 3.8 10-6 / 1.15 + 2 10-5 5.30 10-5 / 4.03 + 3.8010-6 53 010-5 / 2.88)

             U = 9 109 (6.609 10-11 + 2.63 10-10 + 6.99 10-11)

            U = 9 109 (39,899 10-11)

            U = 3.59 10⁻⁹ J

a.metals can become magnetic if they have many spinning electrons that create magnetic fields.d.only some metals are attracted by magnets; these metals are called ferromagnetic.

d.wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current.
