Place 4 charges at the corners of a square which is 2 meters by 2 meters (4 large squares along each length). Place two +1 nC charges at adjacent corners and two -1 nC charges at the other two corners.
Determine the direction of the electric field at the following
three points:
Point E halfway between two like charges. (-120 degrees, 50
V/m)
Point F halfway between two opposite charges. (-90.5 degrees, 309
V/m)
Point G at the center of the square. (90 degrees, 210 V/m)
1. For the points E, F and G, draw a diagram showing both charges and the two individual field vectors (one for each charge) and explain why their vector sum points in the direction that you.
2. Determine the electric potential at the points E, F and G. List them numerically and give an explanation for their value
