Problem
Six point charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side 0.10m such that the charges alternate in sign around the hexagon: +q, −q, +q, −q, +q, −q where q=3μC. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force acting on a +q charge placed at the centre of the hexagon.
