Diagram of three point charges on an arc: +3.00 nC at top and bottom, -2.00 nC at the middle, each 4.00 cm from point P at the right, with 30.0 degree angles marked at P.
 
Three point charges are placed on an arc of radius 4.00 cm, as shown in the figure. 1- Calculate the total electric field at point P, the center of the circular arc. 2- Calculate the electric force acting on the charge -5.00nC placed at point P.

Welcome to PF. :smile:

This New Member Introduction forum is only for brief introduction threads, not for regular discussion threads.

Please re-post your question in the Homework Help, Introductory Physics forum, and fill out the Template you are given there. Please include the Relevant Equations and your Attempt at the Solution. Per the PF Rules (see INFO at the top of the page), we can only offer tutorial help after you show your best efforts to work on the problem.

Also, when you start that new thread, be sure to use a very descriptive thread title. The title should reflect the question being asked in the thread. Thank you.
