Five point charges each having magnitude $q$ are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon as shown in the figure. The net electric field at the centre $O$ is $\vec E$. To make the net electric field at $O$ equal to $6\vec E$,the charge placed on the remaining sixth corner should be: (in $,q$)

  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $-6$
  • C
