Explanation / Answer

solving the first problem

9)

the elctric field magnitude due to a point charge is given as

E = k*q/d^2

where q is the magnitude of charge , d is the distance of point from the charge ,

Now, the direction of field due to negative charge is towards the charge.

Here , the magnitude of electric field due to all charges is same on the centre.

Now, as the elctric field due to oposite corner on diagonal will cancel out ,

only the field due to empty field will be remaining

Hence , only field C is remaining

the correct option is C) C
