Question

Identical +4.64C charges are fixed to adjacent cornersof a square. What charge should be fixed to one of the emptycorners, so that the total potential at the remaining empty corneris 0 V? These are the formulas I ended up with but am still gettingthe problem wrong. What am I missing? -q(2+1/2) and also q= -4.64C (1+1/2) he answer that I keep getting is -7.92097 Identical +4.64C charges are fixed to adjacent cornersof a square.

Explanation / Answer

Label the corners 1,2,3,4 clockwise from theorigin What charge q must be placed at 3 for the potential at 4 to bezero Potential at 4     V4 = K [Q / d + 2 Q / 2 d - q / d] = 0 2 Q + 2 Q = 2 q = (1 + 2 / 2) Q Looks like your solution is OK but check the math
