S ix charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon as shown in the figure. The electric field on the line passing through point 
and perpendicular to the plane of the figure as a function of distance 
from point 
is (assume 
)
A
0
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Two opposite charges situated at opposite vertices forms a dipole and point lies on bisector line of dipole for one dipole
direction of field due to these three dipoles is in a horizontal plane at distance 
from plane of hexagon and parallel to it, mutually having angle 
with each other.
