The electric field due to a point charge can be determined by using Coulomb's law
Electric field due to positive charge is radially outwardand (which is positive) due to negative charge is radially inward to it(which is negative). Here we have two positive charges and one negative charge. Electric field at point A will be algebraic sum of electric field due to individual charges.
(since there is a symmetry in first two charges, that is - 6microC and +6microC charge, both are at equal distance from A and both have charge of same magnitude. Therefore electric field at A due to these two charges are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, therefore cancels each other.Hence only electric field at A due to +10microC charge need to calculate.This is possible because electric field is a vector quantity .)
Electric potential is a scalar quantity. The electric potential at a point in an electric field is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point along any path when the electrostatic forces are applied. Suppose that a positive charge is placed at a point. The charge placed at that point will exert a force due to the presence of an electric field. The electric potential at any point at a distance r from a charge q is
The electric force on the charge 10microC is the vector sum of electric force caused by the charges 6microC and - 6microC.
According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.The force is along the straight line joining them. If the two charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive.
Therefore force on charge 10microC is 2.592N
