Two positive point charges +Q are fixed in place a distance b from a negative point charge qo, as shown. A student writes the following expression for the magnitude of the net electric force on qo: |EF| = 2kQqo b² b -90-$300 30° 30° b +Q +Q Is this expression correct? If it is, explain why it is a valid expression. If it is not, explain any errors and how to correct them, then write a correct expression for the net force.
