Figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, $\mathrm{CsCl}$. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side $0.40\,\mathrm{nm}$, whereas a $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms are deficient in one electron while the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom carries an excess electron.
$(i)$ What is the net electric field on the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom due to eight $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms ?
$(ii)$ Suppose that the $\mathrm{Cs}$ atom at the corner $A$ is missing. What is the net force now on the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom due to seven remaining $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms ?
