Two charges \(+80 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(+20 \mu \mathrm{C}\) are separated by a distance in air. An unknown third charge \(q\) is placed at the centre of the line joining the two charges. If the charges are in equilibrium, then \(q\).

  1. A \(-20 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(+20 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(-10 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(-4 \mu \mathrm{C}\)
