Point charges qa, qb, and qc are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle, 26cm on a side. Charge qa = 1.8nC is located at the top, charge qb = -7.9nC is located at the right and charge qc = 1.9nC is located at the left.
Find the magnitude of the electric field in newtons per coulomb at the center of the triangular configuration of charges.
Find the direction of the electric field in degrees below the right-pointing horizontal (positive x-axis)
