Answer

$V=13$ kV

Work Step by Step

We can find electric potential as: $V=\frac{Q_1}{4\pi \epsilon_{\circ}d}+\frac{3Q_1}{8\pi \epsilon_{\circ}d}-\frac{8Q_1}{16\pi \epsilon_{\circ}d}$ $V=\frac{Q_1}{8\pi \epsilon_{\circ}d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $V=\frac{(8.99\times 10^9)(30\times 10^{-9})}{2(0.01)}=1.3\times 10^4=13\times 10^3=13$ kV
