Detailed Solution

If we consider two point charges +Q and –2Q at origin,  then +Q charge along with other seven +Q charges will produce zero net electric field at centre of cube due to symmetry. Now only remaining charge is –2Q at center. So net electric field at centre will only be due to -2Q charge.E→=kqr3r→  here, r→=a2i^+a2j^+a2k^⇒E→=k(−2Q)a323a2i^+a2j^+a2k^⇒E→=−2Q33πε0a2(i^+j^+k^) We can replace unit vectors i^,j^,k^ with x^,y^,z^.
