  • k: Coulomb’s constant
  • Q: Charge of the point charge
  • r: Distance from the point charge

Electric Potential Due to Multiple Point Charges

• The electric potential at a point due to multiple point charges is the algebraic sum of the electric potentials due to individual charges.
• It can be calculated using the formula: $$V = \frac{kQ_1}{r_1} + \frac{kQ_2}{r_2} + \frac{kQ_3}{r_3} + …$$
  • V: Electric potential at the point
