Solution Summary

This solution provides detailed step-by-step calculations to find the magnitude of the electric field at the center of a square.

Solution Preview

The sides of the square are given by 24.2 cm.
The length of the diagonal of the square can be found by applying the Pythagoras Theorem.
Diagonal = √(2〖Side〗^2 ) = √(2×〖24.2〗^2 )= 34.22 cm
The mid=point of the diagonal, and therefore that of the square is given by 34.22/2 cm = 17.11 cm
