Question
Consider a square of charges, where the side length of the square is a = 2.8 m.  At each corner of the square there is a different charge.  At (0, 0), there is a -7 nC charge.  At (a, 0), there is a -6 nC charge.  At (a, a), there is a -9 nC charge.  Lastly, at (0, a) there is a -6 nC charge.  Calculate the electric potential at (a/2, 0), in V.  Use k = 9 x 109 N m2 / C2.

(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
