Two small equal point charges of magnitude $q$ are suspended from a common point on the ceiling by insulating mass less strings of equal lengths. They come to equilibrium with each string making angle $\theta $ from the vertical. If the mass of each charge is $m,$ then the electrostatic potential at the centre of line joining them will be $\left( {\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} = k} \right).$
