Five charges, each Q, are placed at the five vertices of a regular hexagon of side x. The electric field at the centre of hexagon is
A
B
C
Zero
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
If all the vertices of a regular polygon is occupied by equal charges, the field at the Centre is zero.
Resultant field of 5 charges will be cancelled by the electric field due to 
charge field due to 6th charge
Electric field due to 6th charge 
So, electric field due to remaining 5 charge will also be
