Four point charge particles, each with charge q are located distance d awayfrom the origin. Two of the four charges are on the y axis, on either side of the origin, while theother two are on the z axis, on either side of the origin. Note: These are discreet charges.(a) Find the approximate potential of this system, valid far away from the origin, including the firsttwo orders in the multipole expansion.
