Four identical pendulums are made by attaching a small ball of mass $100 \,g$ on a $20 \,cm$ long thread and suspended from the same point. Now, each ball is given charge $Q$, so that balls move away from each other with each thread making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. The value of $Q$ is close to ..............$\mu C$ $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\right.$ in $SI$ units $)$
