Questions  

Equal charges q are placed at the vertices A and B of an equilateral triangle ABC of side a. The magnitude of electric field at the point C is

a
q4πε0a2
b
2q4πε0a2
c
3q4πε0a2
d
q2πε0a2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

EA=EB=k⋅qa2So, Enet=EA2+EB2+2EAEBcos⁡60∘=3k⋅qa2⇒Enet=3q4πε0a2
