Three conductors of very thin radius and indefinite length are positioned in a triangular orientation as shown in the figure. They are charged up to a density of +1μC/m. 5m 5m 5m (a) A charge of -2μC is placed inside the triangle. Calculate the position where it should be placed, such that the force on the charge due to the three conductors is zero? (b) If a charge is placed 6m directly below the top conductor, what is the electric field intensity experienced by that charge?
