A wire is bent in the form of a regular hexagon and a total charge q is distributed uniformly on it. What is the electric field at the centre? You may answer this part without making any numerical calculations.

A

`(q)/(4 pi epsilon_(0)a^(2))`

B

zero

C

`(3q)/(4 pi epsilon_(0)a^(2))`

D

`(4q)/(4 pi epsilon_(0)a^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2


At centre electric field is zero , because facing charges produce equal and opposite electric field.
