Two +60-μC Point Charges Are Placed at the Corners of the the Base

question 33

Short Answer

Two +6.0-μC point charges are placed at the corners of the base of an equilateral triangle,as shown in the figure.(k = 1/4πε₀ = 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)At the vertex,P,of the triangle
(a)what is the electric potential (relative to infinity)due to these charges?
(b)what is the magnitude of the electric field due to these charges?
