To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 21.1 Coulomb's Law. Three charged particles are placed at each of three corners of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 2.3 cm . Two of the particles have a negative charge: q1 = -6.7 nC and q2 = -13.4 nC . The remaining particle has a positive charge, q3 = 8.0 nC . What is the net electric force acting on particle 3 due to particle 1 and particle 2?
