Just add the individual potentials.
Electric potential at a point is a measure of the electric potential energy per unit charge at that point. It represents the amount of work that would be required to move a unit positive charge from infinity to that point in an electric field.
Electric potential at a point is calculated by dividing the electric potential energy at that point by the charge at that point. It can also be calculated by integrating the electric field along a path from infinity to that point.
The units of electric potential at a point are volts (V) or joules per coulomb (J/C). These units represent the amount of energy per unit charge at that point.
The electric potential at a point decreases as the distance from a source charge increases. This is because the electric field strength decreases with distance, leading to a decrease in potential energy per unit charge at that point.
Electric potential is a measure of the potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field, while electric potential energy is the potential energy of a charge in an electric field. Electric potential is a scalar quantity, while electric potential energy is a vector quantity.
