Is there a quick way to figure out the total potential energy between more than 2 charges without having to find the potential at each point and the. Multiplying it by the charge at that point and adding it all up?
For example - a 2D square with a charges Q, 2Q, -3Q, and another Q at each corner and let's say each side of the square has length "d"
I'm basically wondering if there's a way to calculate the total potential energy of this charge configuration without a page and a half of work
