Expert Answer:
F1 = K q q /L2 = K q2 /L2
F2 = K q q /L2 = K q2/L2
These are the two forces experienced by the charge (q) by -q and q. But these forces will be opposite in direction because one will be attractive & other will be replusive force.
And the angle between them will be 120 degree.
So net force will be = F1 Cos 60 + F2 Cos 60
F = K q2/L2 Cos 60 + K q2 /L2 Cos 60
