Q2. Three particles carry electric charges of q1=+2nC,q2=−4nC,q3=+3nC. Their positions on an (x,y) plane are (−2,2),(0,3) and (3,4), respectively. The x−y axes represent distances in centimetres. a) Calculate the total electric potential at the origin (0,0). (4) b) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the total electric field at the origin due to these three particles. c) If a fourth particle with charge q4=+2nC is placed at the origin, determine the total electric force it experiences.
