Four point-like objects of charge −2Q , +Q , −Q , and +2Q respectively are placed at the corners of a square of side a as shown in the figure below. Part (a) Determine the electric field at the point P , which has coordinates (xP , yP ) = (a / 2,a). Express your answer in terms of k = 1/ 4πε 0 , Q, a , ˆ i , and ˆ j as needed. Part (b) Choose infinity to be the zero point for the electric potential (V (∞) = 0 ). Determine the electric potential at the point P , which has coordinates (xP , yP ) = (a / 2,a). Express your answer in terms of k = 1/ 4πε 0 , Q , a , ˆ i , and ˆ j as needed. Part (c) Determine the direction and magnitude of the electric dipole moment of this charge configuration.
