प्रश्न
A wire is bent in the form of a regular hexagon and a total charge q is distributed uniformly on it. What is the electric field at the centre? You may answer this part without making any numerical calculations.
उत्तर
As the wire is bent to form a regular hexagon, it forms an equipotential surface, as shown in the figure.
Hence, the charge at each point is equal and the net electric field at the centre is 0 .
