the question, from the Nelson Physics 12 texbook, is :
Three charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 2.0 m. the charges, in clockwise starting at the top of the triangle are (c being coulombs) +4.0^-6 c, +2.0^-6 c, and -4.0^-6 c. a) calculate the total electric potential energy of the group of charges. b) determine the electric potential at the midpoint of each side of the triangle.
Just curious, if anyone could inform me of the steps of how to solve, that would be nice, i can take it from there. thanks in advance.
