FIGURE 23-6
-Four equal point charges of magnitude 6.00 μC and of varying signs are placed at the corners of a square 2.00 m on each side, as shown in Fig. 23-6. What is the electric potential at the center of this square due to these charges?

-Four equal point charges of magnitude 6.00 μC and of varying signs are placed at the corners of a square 2.00 m on each side, as shown in Fig. 23-6. What is the electric potential at the center of this square due to these charges?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric potential at the center of the square is zero because the contributions from the charges cancel each other out due to symmetry and the alternating signs of the charges.
