Six charges each +3q are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon of each side 'a'. The electric field at the center of the hexagon is: |
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4 x \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{a^2}$ Zero $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{4 x \varepsilon_0} \frac{q}{a^2}$ $\frac{3 q}{4 x \varepsilon_0 a^2}$ |
Zero |
The correct answer is Option (2) → Zero
Electric field intensity at the centre of each hexagon is balanced by the opposite vertices, thereby cancelling out each other effect. Hence, electric field intensity at the center is zero. |
