Question -

Six charges, three positive and three negative of equal magnitude are to be placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at O is double the electric field when only one positive charge of same magnitude is placed at R. Which of the following arrangements of charges is possible for P, Q, R, S, T and U respectively

Options:

A . +,-,+,-,-,+

B . +,-,+,-,+,-

C . +,+,-,+,-,-

D . -,+,+,-,+,-

Answer: Option D
:
D

If the charges are arranged according to the option (d), the electric fields due to P and S and due to Q and T add to zero, while due to U and R will be added up.
