Three identical point charges with q = +3.0 x10-6 C are placed at each vertex of an equilateral triangle ABC. If the side of the equilateral triangle is 0.01m, find the resultant electric force on the charge at vertex A.
Added by Rachel G.
Step 1
Since the triangle is equilateral, all sides are equal. Therefore, the distance between charges at vertex A and B is also 0.01m. Show more…

Three point charges $q$ are placed at three vertices of an equilateral triangle of side a. Find magnitude of electric force on any charge due to the other two.

Electric Charge
Three charges of equal magnitude $q$ reside at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side length $a$ (Fig. P23.67). (a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point $P$, midway between the negative charges, in terms of $k_{e}, q$, and $a$. (b) Where must a $-4 q$ charge be placed so that any charge located at $P$ experiences no net electric force? In part (b), let $P$ be the origin and let the distance between the $+q$ charge and $P$ be $1.00 \mathrm{~m}$.
