Three charged particles are arranged on corners of a square as shown in Figure OQ23.11, with charge -Q on both the particle at the upper left corner and the particle at the lower right corner and with charge +2Q on the particle at the lower left corner. Suppose the +2Q charge at the lower left corner is removed. Then the magnitude of the field at the upper right corner:
1.becomes larger.
2.becomes smaller.
3.stays the same.
