Question
Three point-like charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. Each side of the triangle has a length of 24.0 cm, and the point (A) is located halfway between q1 and q2 along the side. Find the magnitude of the electric field at point (A). Let q1 = −2.90 μC, q2 = −3.00 μC, and q3= −4.90 μC.
