A hypothetical plane of equilateral hexagon has six charged particles on each of its vertices. If Q1 has a charge of 7nC (nanoCoulomb) and there is an increasing amount of charge per each vertex by a factor of seven up to Q6, what would be the net force experienced by Q1? Assume that the charge sign alternates from positive to negative, starting on Q1.
