Problem

Twelve point charges are arranged on the circumference of a circle of radius RR at the positions of the numbers on a clock face. The charge at the 1212 position is +12q+12q, at 11 is +q+q, at 22 is +2q+2q, and so on, up to +11q+11q at 1111. Determine the direction of the net electric field at the center of the circle.
