A point charge +Q is placed at the centroid of an equilateral triangle. When a second charge +Q is placed at a vertex of the triangle, the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the central charge is 4 N . What is the magnitude of the net force on the central charge when a third charge +Q is placed at another vertex of the triangle?

Two balls, with equal charges, are placed in a vessel with ice, at 10 °C, at a distance of 25 cm from each other. On forming water at 0 °C, the balls are brought nearer to 5 cm, for the interaction between them to be same. If the dielectric constant of water, at 0 °C, is 80, the dielectric constant of ice, at 10 °C, is
