Answer

a) $0.66m$ b) $0.08m, 0.41m, 0.62m$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $V=\frac{U}{q}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{2.6\times 10^{-5}J}{6.2\times 10^{-6}C}$ $V=4.2V$ We can see from the graph that the position of the charge at which the potential is $4.2V$ is $0.66m$. (b) We know that $V=\frac{U}{q}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{4.3\times 10^{-5}J}{6.2\times 10^{-6}C}$ $\implies V=6.9V$ From the graph we can see that the value of the potential occurs at the three points: $0.08m, 0.41m, 0.62m$.
