Consider three point charges (
,
,
)
which lie at
the vertices of an equilateral triangle (length of each side = 1cm).
- 1.
- Make a 3D plot of the electric potential due to these charges, in the
plane of the charges.
- 2.
- Make a vector plot of the electric field, in the plane of the charges.
- 3.
- Assuming that the triangle is centered at the origin, find the force
on a test charge
placed at the origin.
