Question

Really struggling with this, all charges have the same magnitude, and the botom two are postiive and the top is negative, would that make the net electric field point towards the top ? Thank you

The three charges shown are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. All charges pictured have the same magnitude. At the position of the dot, which is at the midpoint of the line separating the two positive charges, the net electric field due to these charges points Select one: O A. The net electric field is zero. B. towards the top of the page C. towards the bottom of the page D. right E. left

Explanation / Answer

the directions of electric fields due to positive charges at the required point are equal in magnitude but opposite in nature. hence the field due to positive charges are canelled each other.

then the net electric field is only due to the field due to negative charge which points towards the negative charge.... means towards the top of the page
