Four point charges arranged in an equilateral triangle configuration.
Four point charges arranged in an equilateral triangle configuration.
Three identical point particles, each with positive charge \(+Q\), are fixed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with sides of length \(L\). A fourth point particle with charge \(q\) is placed at the centroid of the triangle. In terms of \(Q\), what must the charge \(q\) be so that the net electrostatic force exerted on each of the three vertex particles is equal to zero?
