Explanation / Answer

Given,

d1 = 1 cm ; d2 = 5 cm ; q = 5.5 nC

We need to find the potential at the mid point of the base.

The potential at the mid point of the base will be the sum of potentials due to three charges

V = 2 V(-q) + V(+q)

V = 2 k q/r + k q/r'

distance of mis point from +q is:

r' = sqrt (d2^2 - d1/2^2) = sqrt (5^2 - 0.5^2) = 4.97 cm = 0.0497 m

V = 9 x 10^9 x 10^-9 (-2 x 5.5/0.005 + 5.5/0.0497) = -18804 V

Hence, V = -18804 V
