Dear pallavi

two force are acting on q ,one due to 4q and second due to Q

F1 = 1/4∏ε (4q)q/l

F2 = 1/4∏ε (Q)q/(l/2)

      = 1/4∏ε (4Q)q/l

 F1 +F2 =0

1/4∏ε (4q)q/l2   +  1/4∏ε (4Q)q/l=0

 Q=-q

three point charges 4q q and 2q are placed in a straight line of length 10 cm at points distance 0.5 cm 10 cm respectively.if the net force on charge 2q is zero,then calculate the value of q

Dear pallavi
two force are acting on q ,one due to 4q and second due to Q
F1 = K(4q)q/1^2
F2 = K(Q)q/(1/2)^2
= K(4Q)q/1
F1 +F2 =0
K(4q)q/1^2 + K(4Q)q/1 =0
Q=-q
Thanks
I hope above solution solve your doubts.
