Question

Consider the arrangement of charges shown in the figure below. Four charges of equal magnitude Q but varying sign are placed at the comers of a square as indicated. A positive charge q is placed in the center. What is the direction of the net force, if any, on the center charge? Indicate your answer by placing the appropriate label here: Suppose that the charge q were to be displaced slightly from the center position.
