Six point charges of charge q are arranged uniformly around

Six point charges (of charge q) are arranged uniformly around a circle of radius R in the x-y plane. What is the value of the electric potential at the center of the circle. v = 0 V = 3q/2 pi epsilon_O R V = 6q/pi epsilon_O R

Solution

here ,

at the centre of the circle

radius of the circle is r

six charges are placed

V = 6 * potential due to each charge

V = 6 * 1/(4pi * epsilon_0) * q/R

V = 3 * q/(2 * pi * epsilon_0 * R)

the correct option is b) 3 * q/(2 * pi * epsilon_0 * R)
