Electric Potential !
Two charges are placed at the corners of a square. One charge, 4.0μC, is fixed to one corner and another, -6.0μC, is fixed to the opposite corner. What charge would need to be placed at the intersection of the diagonals of the square in order to make the potential difference zero at each of the two unoccupied corners?
V= kq /r
Vtot = V1 + V2 + V3
but then i realized that 3rd charge is unknown where it is, i just don't know how i should approach this problem? help. =[
