(A) Given: Mass $m = 1 \, g = 10^{-3} \, kg$,Charge $q = 10^{-9} \, C$,Distance $x = 0.3 \, cm = 3 \times 10^{-3} \, m$,$g \approx 10 \, m/s^2$.Electrostatic force $F_e = \frac{k q^2}{x^2} = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \times (10^{-9})^2}{(3 \times 10^{-3})^2} = \frac{9 \times 10^{-9}}{9 \times 10^{-6}} = 10^{-3} \, N$.Gravitational force $mg = 10^{-3} \times 10 = 10^{-2} \, N$.For equilibrium,$\tan \theta = \frac{F_e}{mg} = \frac{10^{-3}}{10^{-2}} = 0.1$.Therefore,$\theta = \tan^{-1}(0.1)$.

Two charges $+10 \mu C$ and $-10 \mu C$ are separated by $10 \text{ cm}$. The magnitude of the force acting on another charge $5 \mu C$ placed at the midpoint of the line joining the two charges will be: [Use $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$] (in $\text{ N}$)
