Three point charges of 0.33×10^(-8), 0.33×10^(-8) and 0.65×10^(-8) are at the points A,B,C, of a square ABCD. Find the electric field at the corner D?

Dear student,

Electric field at point D will the sum of the electric fields due to A,B and C

Electric field at D if l is the length of the side of the squareE=kq1l2+q22l2+q3l2The charge at B will be diagonal and so the distance will be 2l2 Taking the components of the electric field along the diagonalE= k0.33×10-8l2cos45+0.33×10-82l2+0.65×10-8l2cos45E=k0.33×10-8×0.707l2+0.33×10-82l2+0.65×10-8×0.707l2E=9×109×10-8l20.23+0.165+0.46E=76.9l2N/C
