Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that the four charges are at the corner of the square's and the side of the square is a=  4.60 cm 

q1= 7.59 nC q2= -18.1 nC q3= 18.1 nC q4= -7.59nC 

We know that the formula of the electric field is given as 

E = Kqr2

where q is the charge, and r is the  half of the diagonal of the square
