According to the given diagram charge -q should be displaced such as it should oscillate. Find its direction of displacement.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Charge -q is under equilibrium at given situation.
This equilibrium is stable under displacement in vertical (
) direction as it will tend to reach again at its current position due to attraction of positive charges.

Hence, it should be displaced either towards C or towards D.
