Answer -
The given figure shows six equal amount ofcharges,┬аq, at the vertices of a regular hexagon.
┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а ┬а┬а
Where,
Charge,┬аq┬а= 5 ┬╡C = 5 ├Ч 10тИТ6┬аC
Side of the hexagon,┬аl┬а=AB = BC = CD = DE = EF = FA = 10 cm
Distance of each vertex from centreO,┬аd┬а= 10 cm
Electric potential at point O,
Where,
= Permittivity of free space
Therefore, the potential at the centre ofthe hexagon is 2.7 ├Ч 106┬аV.
