In the figure, eight particles form a square, with distance d between adjacent particles.




What is the electric potential at point P at the center of the square if the electric potential is zero at infinity? Use qd and ε0.

 

I don't have any idea how i am supposed to input it. I got -4q/ 4*pi*e0*2d and I tried 0. Any ideas and is that answer of mine wrong?

Please explain this information for me--> 

Question 7

The figure shows four pairs of charged particles. For each pair, let  V = 0 at infinity and consider  V net at points on the x axis.

No
 
 



Correct answer.Your answer is correct.
  

For each pair, are there off-axis points (other than at infinity) where Vnet = 0? Mark the pairs where this is true.

Unsure about this. It is similar to last weeks question. I don't know what is being asked when I read it. 

A spherical conducting shell has a charge of -37 μC on its outer surface and a charged particle in its hollow. If the net charge on the shell is -31 μC, what is the charge (a) on the inner surface of the shell and (b) of the particle?
