Twelve identical point charges q are equally spaced around the circumference of a circle of radius R. The circle is centered at the origin. One of the twelve charges, which happens to be on the positive x axis, is now moved to the center of the circle.

A) Determine the magnitude of the total electric force exerted on this charge.
Express your answer in terms of Coulomb's constant k and the variables q and R .
F total = ?

B)Determine the direction of the total electric force exerted on this charge.
Express your answer as an integer.
θ = ? degrees
