Two positive charges of magnitude q are placed at the ends of a side (side 1) of a square of side a. Two negative charges of the same magnitude are kept at the other corners. Starting from rest, if a charge Q moves from the middle of side 1 to the center of the square, its kinetic energy at the center of the square is

The figure shows two large, closely placed, parallel, nonconducting sheets with identical (positive) uniform surface charge densities, and a sphere with a uniform (positive) volume charge density. Four points marked as 1, 2, 3 and 4 are shown in the space in between. If E1, E2, E3 and E4 are the magnitude of net electric fields at these points respectively then:
