A cube of side 'a' has point charges +Q located at each of its vertices except at the origin where the charge is -Q. The electric field at the centre of cube is:
A cube of side 'a' has point charges +Q located at each of its vertices except at the origin where the charge is -Q. The electric field at the centre of cube is:
If charge (-Q) at origin is replaced by (+Q), then electric field at the centre of the cube is zero. Thus, electric field at the centre of the cube is as if only (-2Q) charge is present at the origin.
