Six point charges are arrange at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side length a (shown in figure).

Find the magnitude of electric field at the centre of regular hexagon.

A

`q/(4piepsilon_(0)a^(2))`

B

zero

C

`q/(2piepsilon_(0)a^(2))`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(c) From figure, the resultant electrilc field is

`E=2E_(0)=(2q)/(4piepsilon_(0)a^(2))=q/(2pi epsilon_(0)a^(2))`
