Problem

Three identical point charges of +4.0 μC+4.0\,\mu\text{C} occupy three corners of a square of side 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m}. The fourth corner is empty. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force on a +1.0 μC+1.0\,\mu\text{C} point charge placed at the center of the square.
