  • A
    $Q = -2 \sqrt{2} q$,$q$ being negative
  • B
    $Q = -\frac{q}{2}$,$q$ being negative
  • C
    $Q = 2 \sqrt{2} q$,$q$ being negative
  • D
    $Q = 2 q$,$q$ being negative

As shown in the figure,a configuration of two equal point charges $(q_0 = +2 \mu C)$ is placed on an inclined plane. The mass of each point charge is $20 \, g$. Assume that there is no friction between the charge and the plane. For the system of two point charges to be in equilibrium (at rest),the height $h = x \times 10^{-3} \, m$. The value of $x$ is $..........$. (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2 C^{-2}, g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

Two free positive charges $4q$ and $q$ are at a distance $l$ apart. What charge $Q$ is needed to achieve equilibrium for the entire system and where should it be placed from charge $q$?
