Answer:
12.0 V
Explanation:
Data :
Potential difference due to a single charge (+Q), E = 3.0 V
The Electric potential for the system of charges is given as:
[tex]E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[\Sigma\frac{Q}{r}][/tex]
for single charge, E = 3.0 V = [tex]\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[\frac{Q}{r}][/tex] ->eq(1)
And for 4 charges:
[tex]E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[4\frac{Q}{r}][/tex] -eq(2)
from eq(1) and (2) we have
E = 4 × 3.0 V = 12 V
