Explanation The following figure shows the charges placed at the corners of the isosceles triangle. Figure-(1) Write the expression for the electric potential for three points. V = k e ( q 1 r 1 + q 2 r 2 + q 3 r 3 ) (I) Here, V is the electric potential, k e is the Coulomb constant, q 1 , q 2 and q 3 are the charges and r 1 , r 2 and r 3 are the distance between the charges and point of electric potential respectively. Substitute − q for q 1 and q 2 , q for q 3 , d 2 for r 1 and r 2 and ( 2 d ) 2 − ( d 2 ) 2 for r 3 in Equation (I) to calculate V . V = k e ( ( − q ) d 2 + ( − q ) d 2 + q ( 2 d ) 2 − ( d 2 ) 2 ) = k e ( − ( 4 q ) d + q ( 2 d ) 2 − ( d 2 ) 2 ) = k e ( − ( 4 q ) d + 2 q 15 d ) (II) Conclusion Substitute 8
