A regular hexagon of side 10 cm has a charge `5 muC` at each of its vertices. Calculate the potential at the centre of the hexagon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

ABCDEF is a hexagon as shown in figure. It has side 10 cm and has a charge 5 `mu`C at each ot its vertices O is the centre. Here, six equilateral. triangles meets.

At every vertex has charge of `5 mu C `
`:.` Electric potential at centre O
`V= (6kq)/(r)`
`= (6xx9xx10^(9)xx5xx10^(-6))/(0.1)`
`= 2.7 xx10^(6) V `
