A regular hexagon of side 10 cm has a charge 5 muC at each of its vertices. Calculate the potential at the centre of the hexagon.

Answer»

Solution :Here CHARGE on each vertex of hexagon q = 5`MU C = 5 XX 10^(-6) C`
SIDE of hexagon r = 10 cm=0.1 m
It is clear that distance of hexagon centre O from any of the vertices of
hexagon = r = 0.1 m
`:.` Potential at centre of hexagon `V = 6 xx (1/(4piepsi_0).q/r)`
` = (6 xx 9 xx 10^9 xx 5 xx 10^(-6))/0.1 =2.7 xx 10^6V`
