Consider the charges q,q and -q placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of each side l. What is the force on each charge ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Problem We have three charges \( q, q, \) and \( -q \) placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length \( l \). We need to find the force on each charge. ### Step 2: Force on Charge at Vertex 1 Consider the charge \( q \) at vertex 1. The forces acting on this charge are due to the charges at vertices 2 and 3. ...
