Question 1(A) Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure on your assignment sheet. (a) Find the total electric field strength due to the charges -2 μC and +4 μC at the origin. Give your answer in scientific notation and correct to two decimal places. Your units should be N/C.  (B) Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown below. (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the -3 μC charge? Give your answer rounded to the nearest whole number and in units of N.  (C) Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in your assignment sheet.
