Question

Consider the following figure.

Three positive charges lie at three of the corners of a rectangle of horizontal side length x and vertical side length y < x.
  • An 8.00 µC charge is at the upper left corner.
  • A 2.00 µC charge is at the lower left corner.
  • A 4.00 µC charge is at the lower right corner.
(a) Find the electric potential, taking zero at infinity, at the upper right corner (the corner without a charge) of the rectangle in the figure. (Let x = 5.00 cm and y = 3.10 cm.)
 
Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. V

(b) Repeat if the 2.00-µC charge is replaced with a charge of −2.00 µC.
