Chapter 19.1, Problem 3bTH
In case C, two positive point charges +2Q are each a distance s away from a third positive point charge +q. In case D, four positive point charges +Q are each a distance s away from a fifth positive point charge +q. (The angle α shown is the same in both cases.)
Is the net electric force on the +q charge in case C greater than, less than, or equal to the net electric force on the +q charge in case D? Explain.
