Answer

At the point B, the electric potential is $9.0~V$

Work Step by Step

We can find the electric potential at the point B: $V = \frac{k~q_1}{r_1}+ \frac{k~q_2}{r_2}$ $V = k~(\frac{q_1}{r_1}+ \frac{q_2}{r_2})$ $V = (9.0\times 10^9~N~m^2/C^2) (\frac{2.0\times 10^{-9}~C}{1.0~m} + \frac{-1.0\times 10^{-9}~C}{1.0~m})$ $V = 9.0~V$ At the point B, the electric potential is $9.0~V$.
