उत्तर
The given figure shows a square of a side 10 cm with four charges placed at its corners. O is the centre of the square.
Where,
(Sides) AB = BC = CD = AD = 10 cm
(Diagonals) AC = BD = `10sqrt2`cm
AO = OC = DO = OB = `5sqrt2` cm
A charge of amount 1 μC is placed at point O.
Force of repulsion between charges placed at corner A and centre O is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction relative to the force of repulsion between the charges placed at corner C and centre O. Hence, they will cancel each other. Similarly, the force of attraction between charges placed at corner B and centre O is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction relative to the force of attraction between the charges placed at corner D and centre O. Hence, they will also cancel each other. Therefore, the net force caused by the four charges placed at the corner of the square on 1 μC charge at centre O is zero.
