Q44.If a charge q is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges Q such that the system is in equilibrium then the value of q is (1) Q/2 (2) −Q/2 (3) Q/4 (4) −Q/4

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the electric flux through a single face of a cube due to a charge at its center and another identical charge placed externally, using principles of Gauss's Law and solid angle for symmetry.
