Answer #1

The electric potential due to a point charge at a distance r is given by,
V = kq/r

The net potential at the origin due to the charges is,

V = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2 + kq3/r3
= 9*10^9 (5.02*10^-12/2.4 + 4.4*5.02*10^-12/4.8 - 2.8*5.02*10^-12/2.4)
= 9*10^9*5.02*10^-12/2.4 (1+2.2-2.8)
= 0.00753 Volts or 7.53 mV
