Q. Six point charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side $a$ as shown. If $E$ represents electric field and $V$ represents electric potential at $O$ , then

$E = 0$ but $V \neq = 0$

$E \neq = 0$ but $V = 0$

$E = 0$ and $V = 0$

$E \neq = 0$ and $V \neq = 0$

$V = \frac{3 k q}{r} - \frac{3 k q}{r} = 0$

Q. Six point charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side a as shown. If E represents electric field and V represents electric potential at O, then

E=0 but V=0

E=0 but V=0

E=0 and V=0

E=0 and V=0
