Problem

Six identical point charges +q+q are to be placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side aa. Before the last charge is fixed, one vertex is left empty and a charge +q+q is kept at the centre of the hexagon. What is the magnitude of the net force on the central charge? a) 00 b) 3 kq2a2\sqrt{3}\,\dfrac{k q^{2}}{a^{2}} c) kq2a2\dfrac{k q^{2}}{a^{2}} d) 43 kq2a2\dfrac{4}{3}\,\dfrac{k q^{2}}{a^{2}}
