Two small equal point charges of magnitude $q$ are suspended from a common point on the ceiling by insulating mass less strings of equal lengths. They come to equilibrium with each string making angle $\theta $ from the vertical. If the mass of each charge is $m,$ then the electrostatic potential at the centre of line joining them will be $\left( {\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} = k} \right).$

Charges are placed on the vertices of a square as shown. Let $E$ be the electric field and $V$ the potential at the centre. If the charges on $A$ and $B$ are interchanged with those on $D$ and $C$ respectively, then 

An electric charge $10^{-3}\ \mu C$ is placed at the origin $(0, 0)$ of $X-Y$ coordinate  system. Two points $A$ and $B$ are situated at $(\sqrt 2 ,\sqrt 2 )$ and $(2, 0)$ respectively. The potential difference between the points $A$ and $B$ will be......$V$
