To find the magnitude and direction of the resultant electric field at vertex A due to the point charges +6q at vertex B and -8q at vertex C of an equilateral triangle ABC with side length a, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Charges and Their Positions - We have two charges: - Charge at B: \( +6q \) - Charge at C: \( -8q \) - The distance between A and B (and A and C) is equal to the side length of the triangle, which is \( a \). ...
