Math Problem Statement
The figure shows three charges at the corners of a rectangle, 0.25 meters wide and 0.16 meters high. The charge at the bottom left corner is negative and equals minus 3.3 microcoulombs. The charge at the top left corner is negative and equals minus 6.1 microcoulombs. The charge at the top right corner is positive and equals + 2.7 microcoulombs. How much work must be done to move the three charges in the figure infinitely far from one another?
