The surface of a planet is found to be uniformly charged. When a particle of mass $m$ and no charge is thrown at an angle from the surface of the planet,it has a parabolic trajectory as in projectile motion with horizontal range $L$. $A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$,with the same initial conditions,has a range $L/2$. The range of a particle of mass $m$ and charge $2q$,with the same initial conditions,is:

  • A
    $L$
  • B
    $L/2$
  • C
    $L/3$
  • D
    $L/4$

Four charges $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$, and $Q_4$ of the same magnitude are fixed along the $x$-axis at $x = -2a, -a, +a$, and $+2a$, respectively. A positive charge $q$ is placed on the positive $y$-axis at a distance $b > 0$. Four options regarding the signs of these charges are given in List-$I$. The direction of the net force on the charge $q$ is given in List-$II$. Match List-$I$ with List-$II$ and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists.
