Problem

Four identical charges are placed at the corners of a square of side 10 cm10\,\text{cm} in the following order round the square: +5 μC,  +5 μC,  +5 μC,  −5 μC+5\,\mu\text{C},\; +5\,\mu\text{C},\; +5\,\mu\text{C},\; -5\,\mu\text{C}. Determine the electric field at the centre of the square. a. (i) Find the magnitude of the resultant electric field. b. (ii) State its direction with respect to the sides of the square.
