As soon as I figure out how to add a photo

Homework Statement I've attached a url with a picture of the problem setup and diagram https://instagram.com/p/7nYNXTscre/ Homework Equations I used the equation V = KΣiqi/ri to solve for potential at A and B The Attempt at a Solution For Va I used K((Q/d)+ (2Q/(d^2+d^2)^.5)) I just plugged...

o_OI hear you loud and clear. I'll be sure I don't trash talk him

That's very true. I've been reading from the book which has helped me understand the concepts better. Also have been keeping up with all the required and optional homework he assigns,but according to ratemyprofessor.com, his tests are not very similar to the homework:frown:
