Electric field
Question

In a regular polygon of n sides, each comer is at a distance r from the centre. Identical charges each of magnitude q are placed at comers. The field at the centre is

Easy
Solution

Since there are identical charges at each comer of the regular polygon, the electric field at the centre will be zero. (Note: We conclude from here that the field due to one charge is equal in magnitude to the combined field of all the remaining charges.)
