Four point positive charges of same magnitude $(Q)$ are placed at four corners of a rigid square frame of side $L$ as shown in the figure. The plane of the frame is perpendicular to the $Z$-axis. If a negative point charge $(-q)$ is placed at a small distance $z$ away from the center of the frame along the $Z$-axis $(z < < L)$, then:

  • A
    The negative charge oscillates along the $Z$-axis.
  • B
    It moves away from the frame.
  • C
    It moves slowly towards the frame and stays in the plane of the frame.
  • D
    It passes through the frame only once.

The point charges $+q, -q, -q, +q, +Q$ and $-q$ are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ as shown in the figure. The electric field at the centre of the hexagon '$O$' due to the five charges at $A, B, C, D$ and $F$ is thrice the electric field at the centre '$O$' due to charge $+Q$ at $E$ alone. The value of $Q$ is:
