Three charged particles are at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure below. (Let q = 4.00 C, and L = 0.800 m.) 7.00 60.0 L -4.00 C (a) Calculate the electric field at the position of charge q due to the 7.00-c and -4.00-c charges. 7.03 KN/C i + Think carefully about the direction of the field due to the 7.00-C charge. KN/C (b) Use your answer to part (a) to determine the force on charge q. If you know the electric field at a particular point, how do you find the force that acts on a charge at that point? mN + mN Three charged particles are at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure below.
