    The potential V due to a charge distribution with charge kq located at x=a is given by: 1) For x>a, V=kq/x-2kq/(x-a). 2) For 0<x<a, V=kq/x-2kq/(a-x). 3) For x<0, V= -kq/x + 2kq/(x-a). The potential is zero at x=-a and x=a/3. For x>>a, the potential reduces to that of a single point charge -q located at the origin.

    kq 2kq − kq ( x + a )
    b)  x >a :V = − = .
    x x −a x( x − a )
    kq 2kq kq (3 x − a )
    0 < x < a :V = − = .
    x a −x x( x − a)
    − kq 2kq kq ( x + a )
    x <0 :V = + = .
    x x −a x( x − a)

    Note: This can be also be written as V = k( −

    c) The potential is zero at x = −a and a / 3.

    d)

    − kqx − kq
    e) For x >> a : V ≈ = , which is the same as the potential of a point

    charge –q. (Note: The two charges must be added with the correct sign.)
