$A$ thin infinite sheet charge and an infinite line charge of respective charge densities $+\sigma$ and $+\lambda$ are placed parallel at $5 \ m$ distance from each other. Points $P$ and $Q$ are at $\frac{3}{\pi} \ m$ and $\frac{4}{\pi} \ m$ perpendicular distance from the line charge towards the sheet charge,respectively. $E_P$ and $E_Q$ are the magnitudes of the resultant electric field intensities at points $P$ and $Q$,respectively. If $\frac{E_P}{E_Q} = \frac{4}{a}$ for $2|\sigma| = |\lambda|$,then the value of $a$ is ...........

Point charges $+8q$ and $-2q$ are placed at $x = 0$ and $x = L$ respectively. At which point on the $X$-axis will the resultant electric field intensity be zero?

Five charges,each $q$,are placed at the corners of a regular pentagon of side $a$ as shown in the figure.
$(a)$ $(i)$ What will be the electric field at $O$,the centre of the pentagon?
$(ii)$ What will be the electric field at $O$ if the charge from one of the corners (say $A$) is removed?
$(iii)$ What will be the electric field at $O$ if the charge $q$ at $A$ is replaced by $-q$?
$(b)$ How would your answer to $(a)$ be affected if the pentagon is replaced by an $n$-sided regular polygon with charge $q$ at each of its corners?

In the figure shown,the distance from point $A$ to the point where the electric field intensity is zero is .......... $cm$.
