A +2.0 μC+2.0\,\mu\text{C} charge is fixed at x=0x=0. A +3.0 μC+3.0\,\mu\text{C} charge is fixed at x=0.30 mx=0.30\,\text{m}. What is the electric potential at the point x=0.15 mx=0.15\,\text{m} on the xx-axis? (Take ke=8.99×109 N m2 ⁣/C2k_{e}=8.99\times10^{9}\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{2}\!/\text{C}^{2}.) (a) 6.0×105 V6.0\times10^{5}\,\text{V} (b) 3.0×105 V3.0\times10^{5}\,\text{V} (c) 2.0×106 V2.0\times10^{6}\,\text{V} (d) 1.5×105 V1.5\times10^{5}\,\text{V}
