Four charged particles \(A, B, C ,\) and \(D\) are placed at the four corners of a square, as shown in the figure. Charges \(A\) and \(D\) each carry a charge of \(+2 ~\text C ,\) while charges \(B\) and \(C\) each carry a charge of \(-4~\text C .\) A particle \(q\) of charge \(+ 1~\text C\) is placed at the centre of the square. The net electrostatic force acting on \(q \) due to the other four charges is:

| 1. | \(0~\text N\) | 2. | \(1~\text N\) |
| 3. | \(1.4~\text N\) | 4. | \(4~\text N\) |

| 3. | \(\dfrac{2F_0}{K}\) | 4. | \(F_0\) |
Two-point charges \(+2~\mu\text{C}\) and \(+6~\mu\text{C}\) repel each other with a force of \(60~\text{N}\). If a charge \(-4~\mu\text{C}\) is added to each of them, the force between them will become:
1. \(60~\text{N}\)
2. \(360~\text{N}\)
3. \(20~\text{N}\)
4. \(40~\text{N}\)
| 1. | \(225\) N | 2. | \(450\) N |
| 3. | \(2250\) N | 4. | \(4500\) N |
