Two charges $q_1 = +6q$ and $q_2 = -3q$ are placed as shown in the figure. $A$ proton is placed on the $x$-axis away from $q_2$. To keep the proton in equilibrium,the distance between $q_1$ and the proton is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1}\right) L$
  • B
    $2 L$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{2}$
  • D
    $\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}+1}\right) L$

Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F$. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls, $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$, is:
