To solve the problem of locating point P on the diagonal of a square where the electric potential is zero, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have two point charges: - \( Q_1 = -0.1 \, \mu C \) located at one vertex of the square. - \( Q_2 = 0.2 \, \mu C \) located at the diagonally opposite vertex. The side length of the square is \( 15 \, cm \). ...
