$A$ sphere carrying charge $Q$ and having weight $w$ falls under gravity between a pair of vertical plates at a distance $d$ from each other. When a potential difference $V$ is applied between the plates,the acceleration of the sphere changes as shown in the figure,along the line $BC$. The value of $Q$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{2wd}{V}$
  • B
    $\frac{wd}{2V}$
  • C
    $\frac{wd}{V}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{2}wd}{V}$

The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density $\lambda$ are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the $x$ direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement(s) is(are):
