Dear Faraz
The principle of superposition of forces in electrostatics states that when a number of charges are interacting, the electrostatic force between two charges is not affected by the existence of the other charges and the total electrostatic forceon a charge is the vector sum of all the forces due to other charges
Arun i cannot understand this can you please send me suitable diagram for the complete understanding of this question?
