Ps 2

The document outlines a problem set for the course Transmission Lines and Electromagnetic Fields (EC345AT), consisting of eight problems related to electric forces and fields involving point charges in various configurations. Each problem requires calculations of forces, electric field intensities, and conditions for equilibrium among charges. The problems cover a range of scenarios including point charges in free space, electric fields at specific points, and configurations requiring equilibrium of multiple charges.

space. Find the total force on the charge at A.
