Homework Statement


The diagram shows three charges, A (+5.0 μC),B (-7.0 μC), and C (+2.0 μC), placed at three corners of a rectangle. Point D is the fourth corner. What is the electric potential at point D?
Diagram of a rectangle 60 cm wide and 35 cm tall with charges at three corners: A +2.0 μC top left, B -7.0 μC top right, C +5.0 μC bottom right; point D at bottom left.

Hi Swan! :smile:

Just add the individual potentials. :wink:

Ok, Thank you tiny-tim. :)
