Problem

Three point charges of +1.0 μC+1.0\,\mu\text{C} occupy three corners of a square of side 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m}. Determine the amount of work that must be done by an external agent to bring a fourth +1.0 μC+1.0\,\mu\text{C} charge from infinity to the vacant corner of the square. Give your answer in joules.
