Two point charges (q1 positive charge and q2 negative charge) have the same magnitude and they are fixed to either end of the base of an isosceles triangle, as shown in the figure. The electric field at midpoint M between the charges has a magnitude EM, and that at point P, located a P M 91 directly above the midpoint, has a magnitude Ep. The ratio of these two field magnitudes is EM/Ep = 19 a 92 Find the angle a in the drawing (Show all your calculation steps by typing in the box).
