a. along the line between the charge and the center of the square outward of the center
b. along the side of the square outward of the other charge that lies on the side
c. along the line between the charge and the center of the square toward the center
d. along the side of the square toward the other charge that lies on the side

Answer 1

hi your question is incomplete below is the complete question

A charge of 2.15 mC is placed at each corner of a square 0.500 m on a side. Determine the direction of the force on a charge.

answer : Along the line between the charge and the center of the square outward of the center ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of the force on a charge is along the line between the charge and the center of the square outward of the center

Given that; Fnet = 3.17 * 10^-1 N ( calculated value )

The nature of the Force is repulsive in nature
