Two point charges $-Q$ and $+Q / \sqrt{3}$ are placed in the xy-plane at the origin $(0,0)$ and a point $(2,0)$, respectively, as shown in the figure. This results in an equipotential circle of radius $R$ and potential $V =0$ in the $xy$-plane with its center at $(b, 0)$. All lengths are measured in meters.
