### Electric Potential of Point Charges

#### Problem Statement

The two charges in the figure below are separated by a distance \( d = 3.50 \) cm, and \( Q = +2.10 \) nC.

#### Diagram

The diagram illustrates a square configuration of point charges. Each side of the square is labeled with a distance \( d \). 

- At the bottom left corner of the square is a charge \( Q \).
- At the bottom right corner of the square is a charge \( 2Q \).
- The top two corners of the square, labeled \( A \) (top left) and \( B \) (top right), are points where we need to find the electric potential.

Diagram Description:
- The diagram consists of a square with vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and two points at the bottom with charges \( Q \) (left) and \( 2Q \) (right).
- The sides of the square are of equal length, labeled as \( d \).

#### Questions:

(a) Find the electric potential at point \( A \).  
\[ \text{Electric Potential at } A: \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{kV} \]

(b) Find the electric potential at point \( B \).  
\[ \text{Electric Potential at } B: \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{kV} \]

(c) Find the electric potential difference between \( B \) and \( A \).  
\[ \text{Potential Difference (} V_B - V_A \text{):} \_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{V} \]
