The figure presents a crystal unit of cesium chloride,CsCl. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the comers of a cube of side 0.40 nm, whereas Cl atom is situated at the center of the cube. The Cs atoms are deficient in one electron while the Cl atom carries an excess electron. What is the net electric field on the Cl atom due to eight Cs atoms ?

Five charges, q each are placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side 'a'.

(i) What will be the electric field at O, the centre of the pentagon?
(ii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge from one of the corners (say A) is removed?
(iii) What will be the electric field at O if the charge q at A is replaced by -q?

How would your answer to be affected if pentagon is replaced by n-sided regular polygon with charge q at each of its corners?
