Four point particles of charge q are located at the vertices of a square with sides of length 2s. A
uniformly charged line of charge of length L = 8s is oriented along the central axis of the square, with
one of its ends coinciding with the center of the square, as shown below. The linear charge density of the
%3D
line of charge is A.
2s
L
Express your symbolic answers to the questions below in terms of s, q, 1, x and ker as needed.
(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field generated by the four point charges at the center of the
square?
(b) What is the magnitude of the electric field generated by the four point charges at a point that is a
distance x along the central axis of the square?
(c) What is the magnitude of the electric force between the four point charges and the line of charge?
