Vertices of a regular hexagon of sides 3 cm have three positive and negative charges each of magnitude θ = 1.5 nC as shown in diagram. A point charge of Q = 5nC is placed at centre of hexagon. The net force on 5 nC is-

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B

F R is the resultant of two (2F) forces

Hence net force is 0.
