Three point charges of +2μC,-3μC and -3μC are kept at the vertices A, B and C respectively of an equilateral triangle of side 20 cm as shown in the Fig. 2.104. What should be the sign and magnitude of the charge to be placed at the mid point (M) of side BC so that the charge at A remains in equilibrium?
