" Three charges each of magnitude q are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle, the electrostatic force on the charge placed at the center is (each side of triangle is L)"
Added by Arch K.
Step 1
Since the charges are like charges, they will repel each other. The force between them can be calculated using Coulomb's law: \[ F_{AB} = \frac{k \cdot q^2}{L^2} \] Show more…
