Six charges q, q, q, – q, –q and –q are to be arranged on the vertices of a regular hexagon PQRSTU such that the electric field at center is double the field produced when only charge ‘q’ is placed at vertex R. The sequence of the charges from P to U is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
According to option the electric field due to P and S and due to Q and T add to zero. While due to U and R will be added up. Hence the correct option is .
