Suggested answer:

Suggested answer:

Potential at O due to +20 esu of charge is

Potential at O due to +9 esu of charge is

= +4.5 esu of potential

Potential at O due to -5 esu of charge is

=-2.5 esu of potential

\ Total potential at O = (2.582 + 4.5 - 2.5) esu of potential

= 4.582 esu of potential
