Physics

Two charges, + q and - q, occupy two corners of an equilateraltriangle, as shown in FIGURE 19-51. (a) If q = 1.8 mC and r = 0.50m, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at pointA, the other vertex of the triangle. Let the direction angle bemeasured counterclockwise from the positive x axis. (b) What is thetotal electric flux through the surface indicated in the figure?(c) Explain why Gauss’s law cannot easily be used to find themagnitude of the electric field at point A.
