Q: Three point charges located at the corners of an imaginary equilateral triangle carry charges of +8 µC, +3 µC, and -5 µC, respectively. A distance of 0.5 m separates the charges from one another. What net electric field ( E-field ) will a positive test charge experience when placed at the triangle’s center? A:Continue reading “ELECTROSTATICS: Electric Field at the Center of an Equilateral Triangle”
