Question

Four identical charges each of 1μC are placed at the corners of a square of side 10 cm. The resultant field strength at the centre is :
  1. 18×105V/m
  2. 9×109V/m
  3. 3.6×105V/m
  4. Zero

A
3.6×105V/m
B
18×105V/m
C
9×109V/m
D
Zero
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The effective electric field is zero as the electric field by any charge is cancelled by the diagonally opposite charge.
E is a vector quantity
