Distance from any charge to the center of the square is r =1/sqrt(2) m = 0.7071 m. Electric potential of one charge in the center is phi1 = q / (4*pi*eps0*r). Since potential is a scalar, contributions from differentcharges will simply add up. Thus, the net phi = (q1+q2+q3+q4) /(4*pi*eps0*r) = (5-2+3-9) microC / (4*3.14*8.85*10^(-12) F/m * 1/sqrt(2) m) = approximately - 27*sqrt(2) *10^3 V = - 38149 V. Answer: B) -27ROOT2 KV
