Three point charges at the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Three point charges at the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Three point charges are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length \(a\), as shown in the figure. Two vertices each hold a charge of \(+Q\), while the third vertex holds a charge of \(-2Q\). What is the magnitude of the net electric field at the center of the triangle, in terms of \(Q\), \(a\), and Coulomb's constant \(k\)?
