The diagram shows the arrangement of three small uniformly charged spheres A, B and C. The arrows indicate the direction of the electrostatic forces acting between the spheres(for example, the left arrow on sphere A indicates the electrostatic force on sphere A due to sphere B). At least two of the spheres are positively charged. Which sphere, if any, could be negatively charged?

Two semi-circular rings lying in the same plane, of uniform linear charge density λ have radius r and 2r. They are joined using two straight uniformly charged wires of linear charge density λ and length r as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the electric field at the common center of semi-circular rings is
