Five charges, q each is placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side a as shown in figure. What will be the electric field at O if the charge q at A is replaced by −q?

Solution
When the charge q from A is removed and −q charge is placed then electric field at O
E2=−q4πϵ0r2.
When a new charge −q is placed the E.F. will increase by −q4πϵ0r2.
