Two unit negative charges are placed on a straight line. $A$ positive charge $q$ is placed exactly at the midpoint between these unit charges. If the system of these three charges is in equilibrium,the value of $q$ (in $C$) is

Find the value of $q$ so that the net electrostatic force on the $10 \mu C$ charge placed at a vertex of the square is zero. The charges are arranged as shown in the figure.

In one model of the electron,the electron of mass $m_e$ is thought to be a uniformly charged shell of radius $R$ and total charge $e$,whose electrostatic energy $E$ is equivalent to its mass $m_e$ via Einstein's mass-energy relation $E = m_e c^2$. In this model,$R$ is approximately ($m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \, kg$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \, ms^{-1}$,$1 / 4 \pi \varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2C^{-2}$,magnitude of the electron charge $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$).

There are two charges $+1 \ \mu C$ and $+5 \ \mu C$. The ratio of the forces acting on them will be
