Two electric charges $+2 \mu C$ and $-4 \mu C$ are separated by a distance $3 \ m$ in air. At a point $P$ located on the line joining the two charges and in between them, the electric potential is zero. Then the electric field at point $P$ (in $NC^{-1}$) is (in $,000$)

$A$ long cylindrical shell carries positive surface charge $\sigma$ in the upper half and negative surface charge $-\sigma$ in the lower half. The electric field lines around the cylinder will look like the figure given in:

The diagram shows three infinitely long uniform line charges placed on the $X, Y$ and $Z$ axes with linear charge densities $2\lambda, 3\lambda$ and $\lambda$ respectively. The work done by an external agent in moving a unit positive charge from $(1, 1, 1)$ to $(0, 1, 1)$ is equal to:

Ten charges are placed on the circumference of a circle of radius $R$ with constant angular separation between successive charges. Alternate charges $1, 3, 5, 7, 9$ have charge $(+q)$ each, while $2, 4, 6, 8, 10$ have charge $(-q)$ each. The potential $V$ and the electric field $E$ at the centre of the circle are respectively (Take $V = 0$ at infinity).

Six charges,three positive and three negative of equal magnitude,are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at the center $O$ is double the electric field obtained when only a charge of the same magnitude is placed at $R$. What are the charges at $P, Q, R, S, T,$ and $U$ respectively?
