To find the electric field at the fourth corner of a square where three charges are placed at three corners, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have three charges, each equal to \( q \), placed at three corners of a square with side length \( a \). We need to find the electric field at the fourth corner (let's call it point D). ### Step 2: Determine the Electric Field Due to Each Charge 1. **Electric Field due to Charge at Corner A (E1)**: - The charge at corner A creates an electric field at point D directed away from A (since the charge is positive). ...
