Problem: What is the electric potential at the point indicated with the dot in the figure below? Suppose that q = 1.4 nC. 

FREE Expert Solution

Electric potential due to charge:

V=kqr

The potential at the point will be addition of the potentials due to all the three charges.

The distance between the charge q and the point is given by:

rqp=3.02+4.02

rqp = 5cm.
