Four equal positive charges are fixed at the vertices of a square of side $L$. The $Z$-axis is perpendicular to the plane of the square. The point $z = 0$ is the point where the diagonals of the square intersect. Find the plot of the electric field $E$ due to the four charges as one moves along the $Z$-axis.

Six point charges are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon of side $a$ as shown. If $E$ represents the electric field and $V$ represents the electric potential at the center $O$,then:

An infinite plane sheet of charge having uniform surface charge density $+\sigma_s \text{ C/m}^2$ is placed on the $x-y$ plane. Another infinitely long line charge having uniform linear charge density $+\lambda_e \text{ C/m}$ is placed at the $z=4 \text{ m}$ plane and is parallel to the $y$-axis. If the magnitude values satisfy $|\sigma_s| = 2|\lambda_e|$,then at the point $(0, 0, 2)$,the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field values due to the sheet charge to that of the line charge is $\pi \sqrt{n} : 1$. The value of $n$ is:
