(a) Draw the electric field vector diagram for the field seen by the q2 charge at the upper right corner. We will focus on this charge as the test charge, which sees the rest of the charges as sources. (b) Use the diagram to find the magnitude and components of each of the electric fields created at the test point (q2's location) by the individual point sources (the other charges.) Your answers will be in terms of the unknown quantities a and q. From these, find the net electric field (in terms of a and q) at the upper right corner. (c) Using the field you just calculated, find, again in terms of a and q, the magnitude of the electric force on 92.
