Q.
Ten charges are placed on the circumference of a circle of radius R with constant angular separation between successive charges. Alternate charges 1,3, 5,7,9 have charge (+q) each, while 2,4,6,8,10 have charge (-q) each. The potential V and the electric field E at the centre of the circle are respectively. (Take V = 0 at infinity)
