A cube of side \(L\) has point charges \(+q\) located at its seven vertices and \(-q\) at remaining one vertex. The electric field at its centre is found to be \(|\mathbf{E}|=\alpha\left(\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 L^2}\right)\). The magnitude of constant \(\alpha\) is

  1. A \(\frac{4}{3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{8}{3}\)
  3. C 3
  4. D 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{8}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the following figure Clearly, \(5 x\)-components of \(\mathbf{E}\) will be left to right, while \(3 x\)-components of \(\mathbf{E}\) will be from right to left. From the figure given below \(r^2=\frac{L^2}{4}+\frac{L^2}{2}=\frac{3 L^2}{4}\) So,…
