Calculate the net electric field (magnitude and direction) at P -the point at the center of a square of side 2 cm with charges at the corners. For full credit, draw and label the direction of the electric field vectors due to each charge (i.e. E1P, E2P, E3P, and E4P). Use the coordinate system in the figure.

Four point charges are placed at the corners of a square as shown in the figure. Each side of the square has a length of 2.0 m. Draw the electric fields for each of the charges at point P, the center of the square: Obtain the distances from point P to each of the charges: Determine the magnitude of the net electric field at point P. If a charge of 1 ΑC is placed at P, explain what happens to this charge.
