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:

Question diagram: A cube of side a has point charges + Q located at each of it

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

We can replace -Q charge at origin by +Q and -2Q.

Now due to +Q charge at every corner of cube. Electric field at center of cube is zero so now net electric field at center is only due to -2Q charge at origin.
