Two point charges of magnitude +4.00 μC and +2.00 μC are placed at the opposite corners of a rectangle as shown in Figure 20-3.
Two point charges of magnitude +4.00 μC and +2.00 μC are placed at the opposite corners of a rectangle as shown in Figure 20-3.
What is the electric potential at point A (relative to infinity) due to the charges?
The answer turns out to be that add V from A to the +4micro charge and add V from A to the +2micro charge. I don't understand why you add them together. Since one direction is going +x and the other -y, why wouldn't you subtract?
Could someone explain it to me starting from the basics because everything about this question confuses me.
