The linear charge density on upper half of a segment of ring is $\lambda$ and at lower half, it is $-\lambda$. The direction of electrical field at centre $O$ of ring is :-

The intensity of the electric field required to keep a water drop of radius ${10^{ - 5}}\, cm$ just suspended in air when charged with one electron is approximately

A charged particle of mass $5 \times {10^{ - 5}}\,kg$ is held stationary in space by placing it in an electric field of strength ${10^7}\,N{C^{ - 1}}$ directed vertically downwards. The charge on the particle is

The tiny ball at the end of the thread shown in figure has a mass of $0.5 \, g$ and is  placed in a horizontal electric field of intensity $500\, N/C$. It is in equilibrium in the  position shown. The magnitude and sign of the charge on the ball is .....$\mu C$

The bob of a simple pendulum has mass $2\,g$ and a charge of $5.0\,\mu C$. It is at rest in a uniform horizontal electric field of intensity $2000\,\frac{V}{m}$. At equilibrium, the angle that the pendulum makes with the vertical is (take $g = 10\,\frac{m}{{{s^2}}}$)

Mention characteristics of electric field.
