Four identical point charges (+10.0 nC) are placed at the corners of a rectangle which measures 6.0 m ×8.0 m. If the electric potential is taken to be zero at infinity, what is the potential at the geometric center of this rectangle?
Added by Dylan W.
Step 1
Given that the rectangle measures 6.0 m × 8.0 m, the distance from the center to one of the charges is √(3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m. Show more…

The drawing shows six point charges arranged in a rectangle. The value of $q$ is $9.0 \mu \mathrm{C},$ and the distance $d$ is $0.13 \mathrm{m} .$ Find the total electric potential at location $P,$ which is at the center of the rectangle.
