Finding ##v## for four particles after being released from square

[QUOTE="ChiralSuperfields, post: 6848027, member: 731016"] Thanks for your help [USER=493650]@PeroK[/USER]! True the force is not constant! I guess the force to move the charge would increase the closer it got to the other positive charges. Maybe the work may not be infinite since it would require very little work to move the charge at a near infinite distance away. However, I try to see if the integral diverges ## W = \int_\infty^L \ dx ## (assuming some component of the force applied is in x-direction) ## W = L - \infty = -\infty ## However, work should be positive since the force applied is against the repulsive electrostatic force. Do you please know what I have done wrong here? I think maybe be something to do with absence of a coordinate system that I have defined. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
