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 8 N. The magnitude of the net force on the central charge when a third charge +Q is placed at another vertex of the triangle is

Five Styrofoam balls are suspended from insulating threads. Several experiments are performed on the balls and the following observations are made:
(i) Ball A repels C and attracts B.
(ii) Ball D attracts B and has no effect on E.
(iii) A negatively charged rod attracts both A and E.
An electrically neutral Styrofoam ball gets attracted if placed nearby a charged body due to induced charge. What are the charges, if any, on each ball A,B,C,D and E?
