A filament running along the x axis from the origin to x = 80.0 cm carries electric charge with uniform density. At the point P with coordinates (x = 80.0 cm, y = 80.0 cm), this filament creates electric potential 100 V. Now we add another filament along the y axis, running from the origin to y = 80.0 cm, carrying the same amount of charge with the same uniform density. At the same point P, is the electric potential created by the pair of filaments (a) greater than 200 V, (b) 200 V, (c) 100 V, (d) between 0 and 200 V, or (e) 0?

You will find a table of integrals helpful for performing the integration.
A charged particle is moved in a uniform electric field between two points, A and B, as depicted in Figure P26.65. Does the change in the electric potential or the change in the electric potential energy of the particle depend on the sign of the charged particle? Consider the movement of the particle from A to B, and vice versa, and determine the signs of the electric potential and the electric potential energy in each possible scenario.
