Three charges $2q, -q, -q$ are located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. At the centre of the triangle:

  • A
    The field is zero but potential is non-zero
  • B
    The field is non-zero but potential is zero
  • C
    Both field and potential are zero
  • D
    Both field and potential are non-zero
