What will be the magnitude of electric field at point O as shown in figure? Each side of the figure is l and perpendicular to each other?
Option 1 -
(1/4πε₀) (q/l²) (2√2 - 1)
Option 2 -
(1/4πε₀) (q/(2l)²)
Option 3 -
(1/4πε₀) (q/l²)
Option 4 -
(1/4πε₀) (2q/(2l)²) (√2)

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:E? (due to A and G) = 2 * (kq/l²)cos (45) = √2 kq/l² (downwards)
E? (due to B and F) = 2 * (kq/l²)cos (45) = √2 kq/l² (towards left)
E? (due to C and H) = 0
E? (due to D and E) = 0
Resultant E = √ (E? ²+E? ²) = √ (2 (kq/l²)²+2 (kq/l²)²) = 2kq/l²
(Solution in the image seems to be different.)
