Step 1: Concept
Given data
The charge magnitude at the first point is: q1 = -q
The charge magnitude at the second point is: q2 = q
The charge magnitude at the third point is: q3 = -q
The charge magnitude at the fourth point is: q4 = q
The distance of the location of the charge is: d = 0.98 m
The above configuration is shown below:
The expression for the potential at point A is given as:
Here k is taken as electrostatic constant.
