Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: The charge q1 is -9 μC

          The charge q2 is 12 μC.

          The charge q3 is -13 μC.

          The charge q4 is -9 μC.

          The charge q5 is 12 μC.

          The charge q6 is 13 μC.

          The charge q7 is  -9 μC.

          The distance between any of the two charges is 30 cm. 

To determine: (a) Total electric force exerted by all the charges on the charge at center. 

Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

The force between the two charges is given as 

F=14πε0qQr2

where F is the force between the two charges, q and Q are the two charges and r is the distance between the two charges. 

The direction of force due to charge q1 on q7 is repulsive, it will along the charge q4. Similarly the direction of force due to charge q4 on q7 is repulsive and will be along q1. These two forces will cancel out each other.
