    Six charges are placed around a regular hexagon of side length a as shown in the figure. Five of them have charge $q$, and the remaining one has charge $x$. The perpendicular from each charge to the nearest hexagon side passes through the center $O$ of the hexagon and is bisected by the side.

    Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct in SI units?

    $(A)$ When $x=q$, the magnitude of the electric field at $O$ is zero.

    $(B)$ When $x=-q$, the magnitude of the electric field at $O$ is $\frac{q}{6 \pi \in_0 a^2}$.

    $(C)$ When $x=2 q$, the potential at $O$ is $\frac{7 q}{4 \sqrt{3} \pi \in_0 a}$.

    $(D)$ When $x=-3 q$, the potential at $O$ is $\frac{3 q}{4 \sqrt{3} \pi \in_0 a}$.

    In a parallel plate capacitor the separation between the plates is $3\,mm$ with air between them. Now a $1\,mm$ thick layer of a material of dielectric constant $2$ is introduced between the plates due to which the capacity increases. In order to bring its capacity to the original value the separation between the plates must be made......$mm$
