$A$ charge $q$ is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges $Q$. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium if $q$ is equal to:

  • A
    $ - \frac{Q}{2} $
  • B
    $ - \frac{Q}{4} $
  • C
    $ + \frac{Q}{4} $
  • D
    $ + \frac{Q}{2} $

Three charges of each magnitude $100 \mu C$ are placed at the corners $A, B$ and $C$ of an equilateral triangle of side $4 \text{ m}$. If the charges at points $A$ and $C$ are positive and the charge at point $B$ is negative,then the magnitude of the total force acting on the charge at $C$ and the angle made by it with $AC$ are:
