A regular hexagon of side \(5 \mathrm{~cm}\) has a charge \(10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) at each of its vertices. The potential at the centre of hexagon is

  1. A \(0 \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. B \(18 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(1.08 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(1.08 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.08 \times 10^7 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, length of sides of hexagon, \(r=5 \mathrm{~cm}=5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\) charge on each vertices of hexagon, \(q=10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) \(=10 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{C}\) Now, according to the question, Due to one charge, potential on hexagon's centre \(P\) is given as,…
