Four charges of same magnitude are placed at points X, Y, Y, and Z respectively, as shown in the following figure. A point is located at P, which is r distance away from point Y. The system of charges forms an electric quadrupole. It can be considered that the system of the electric quadrupole has three...

Four charges of same magnitude are placed at points X, Y, Y, and Z respectively, as shown in the following figure. A point is located at P, which is r distance away from point Y. The system of charges forms an electric quadrupole. It can be considered that the system of the electric quadrupole has three charges. Charge +q placed at point X Charge −2q placed at point Y Charge +q placed at point Z XY = YZ = a YP = r PX = r + a PZ = r − a Electrostatic potential caused by the system of three charges at point P is given by, Since, is taken as negligible. It can be inferred that potential, However, it is known that for a dipole, And, for a monopole, read less
