Problem

An equilateral △and\triangle and a square both have side length aa. Charges +Q+Q are placed at the vertices of the triangle, but one vertex is left empty (2 charges total). Charges +Q+Q are placed at the vertices of the square, but one vertex is left empty (3 charges total). Calculate the ratio of the electric field magnitude at the centroid of the △to\triangle to the electric field magnitude at the center of the square.
