Answer #2

Potential at given point due to point charge =kQ/r

Potential at a point due to multiple point charges =kQ1/r1+kQ2/r2 +kQ3/r3.......etc

From the figure

as all the charges are equal

r1 = 3cm =0.03m

r3 = 4cm =0.04m

Q= 2nC= 2*10-9C

k=9*109Nm2/C2

, which is the required solution

Answer #3

here,

q = 2 nC = 2 * 10^-9 C

r1 = 3 cm = 0.03 m

r2 = 4 cm = 0.04 m

the electric potential at the dot , V = K * q /r1 + K * q /r2 + K * q /sqrt(r1^2 + r2^2)

V = 9 * 10^9 * 2 * 10^-9 * ( 1/0.03 + 1/0.04 + 1/sqrt(0.03^2 + 0.04^2)) V

V = 2297.9 V
