Five point charge each having magnitude $‘q’$ are placed at the corner of hexagon as shown in fig. Net electric field at the centre $‘O’$ is $\vec E$. To get net electric field at $‘O’$ be $6\vec E$, charge placed on the remaining sixth corner should be

A

$6\, q$

B

$-6\, q$

C

$5\, q$

D

$-5\, q$

Solution

(d) To obtained net field $6E$ at centre $O$, the charge to be placed at remaining sixth corner is $-5q$. (see following figure)
