Step 1
0 nC charge at the fourth corner. Given: Charge (q1) = +4.0 nC = 4.0 x 10^-9 C Distance (r) = 0.24 m Angle (θ) = 45 degrees Using the formula for electric field due to a point charge: \[ E_1 = \frac{k \cdot q_1}{r^2} \] Substitute the values: \[ E_1 = \frac{9 Show more…

Four point charges are located at the corners of a square. Each charge has magnitude 1.30 nC and the square has sides of length 3.40 cm. Find the magnitude of the electric field (in N/C) at the center of the square if all of the charges are positive and three of the charges are positive and one is negative. (a) all the charges are positive ___N/C (b) three of the charges are positive and one is negative ___N/C

Four point charges have the same magnitude of $2.4 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}$ and are fixed to the comers of a square that is 4.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ on a side. Three of the charges are positive and one is negative. Determine the magnitude of the net electric field that exists at the center of the square.
