Question: Two charges are fixed in the xy - plane at the following locations: Q 1 = e; r 1 = 1 . 0 m y

Two charges are fixed in the xy-plane at the following locations:
Q1=e; r 1=1.0my
Q2= e; r 2=2.0mx.(1)
(a) What is the distance between Q1 and the origin?
(b) If an electron is placed at the origin, what potential energy does it have from Q1?
(c) What is the distance between Q2 and the origin?
(d) If an electron is placed at the origin, what potential energy does it have from Q2?
(e) How much work is required to bring an electron from infinity to the origin? (Your
answer should be in Joules.)
