Expert Answer
Let the charge'q' be placed at a point O along the line joining the other two charges.
For a system of charges to be in equilibruim.
net force on all the three charges must be zero.
If charge q is positive in nature,it will experience forces due to other two charges in opposite directions and hence net force on charge q may be 0.But the force on the charge 4Q and Q will not be 0.It is because the force on a charge Q or 4Q due to other two charges will act in same direction.
However if charge q placed is negative,then on a charge Q or 4Q ,forces due to other two charges will act in the opposite direction.Hence the third charge placed must be negative.
