Two protons are brought from very far apart to a distance of 1×10−15 m and kept there. Then, an electron is brought to point A, equidistant from both protons and forming an equilateral triangle with the two protons. The electron is let go and passes through point B, the midpoint between protons. Determine: a. The electrostatic force between proton? b. The electric field at points A and B due to the protons
