    A regular pentagon has 5 equal sides and 5 interior angles that each measure 108 degrees. To create a net electric field of zero at the center, an equal charge should be placed at each corner. By symmetry, the charges will cancel each other out since they are identical and act in opposite directions, resulting in no net electric field at the center.

    Q: The corner of regular pentagon contains the charge

    respectively. What charge should place on the corner so that net effect become null on
    center.

    (a)
    (b)
    (c)
    (d)

    CORRECT OPTION: (c)


    EXPLANATION:

    It must be understood that , according to symmetry, the will cancel out


    each other as they have identical charge and acting in a opposite direction. And if we put
    then and will cancel out each other. And therefore, net electric field at center
    will be zero.
    Hence, the correct option is (c).
