A system of three same and equal charges is forming an equilateral triangle.Find the point at which the electrostatic potential is zero inside the triangle.

Dear student,

Write the electric potential for individual charges and then take components in X and Y direction and put that to zero to find the value of x.

potential cannot be zero any where inside or outside since charges are of same magnitude....field can be zero....

at least one of the charge should have oppsite sign then only potential can be zero at some point....
