Three charges,each $+Q$,are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. What is the net electrostatic force on any one charge? $\left( k = \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _0} \right)$

  • A
    $\frac{kQ^2}{a^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2kQ^2}{a^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{2} kQ^2}{a^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3} kQ^2}{a^2}$
