$A$ negative charge $-q$ is placed at the midpoint between two fixed equal positive charges $Q$, separated by a distance $2d$. If the negative charge is given a small displacement $x$ $(x \ll d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the positive charges, how will the net force $(F)$ acting on it approximately depend on $x$?

$A$ ring of radius $R$ has charge $-Q$ distributed uniformly over it. The charge that should be placed at the center of the ring such that the electric field becomes zero at a point on the axis of the ring at a distance $R$ from the center of the ring will be:
