Six point charges are kept at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side and centre , as shown in the figure.
Given that , which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct?

Options
- AThe electric field at is along
- BThe potential at is zero
- CThe potential at all points on the line is same
- DThe potential at all points on the line is same
Correct answer
A. The electric field at is along
Step-by-step solution
Here

Electric potential at Potential at all points on the line PR is same not on line ST. is perpendicular bisector (the equatorial line) for the electric dipoles . Therefore the electric potential will be zero at any point on .
