Explanation:
<u>Electric Potential Due To Point Charges </u>
The electric potential produced from a point charge Q at a distance r from the charge is
The total electric potential for a system of point charges is equal to the sum of their individual potentials. This is a scalar sum, so direction is not relevant.
We must compute the total electric potential in the center of the square. We need to know the distance from all the corners to the center. The diagonal of the square is
where a is the length of the side.
The distance from any corner to the center is half the diagonal, thus
The total potential is
Where V1 and V2 are produced by the +4\mu C charges and V3 and V4 are produced by the two opposite charges of . Since all the distances are equal, and the charges producing V3 and V4 are opposite, V3 and V4 cancel each other. We only need to compute V1 or V2, since they are equal, but they won't cancel.
The total potential is
