A cube with a side length of 2 meters was placed at the origin point (Center of the cube at the origin). There is also a point load at the 8 corners of the cube. Q, which is the value of point loads, is equal to the sum of the coordinate values of that point. (Q = x + y + z)

a) Find the electric field and coulomb potential at the origin and at any point in space.

b) Suggest various charge distributions that make the electric field zero at the origin.

Thank you.

A cube has point charges at all corners. No two charges have the same value; all are unique. Is it possible for the electric potential (not the electric field!) at the center of the cube to be zero? (Assume the point charge definition of potential in which V = 0 at infinity.) If the potential cannot be zero, explain why. If the potential can be zero, what a special relationship must the charges have?
