Three +4.0-C point charges are at the three corners of a square of sides 1.00 m. The fourth corner (the lower right hand position) is occupied by a -4.0-C charge. Begin with the sketch; label the charges with numbers (1-4), and label their corresponding electric field vectors (1-4). Then draw the electric field at the center of the square from each charge as in the previous problem. Then calculate the electric field at the center of the square as the vector sum of the individual fields (superposition). For your final answer express the field in two ways: as a magnitude and direction, and in x-y component form. Show your work below.
