Assertion: A charge is lying at the centre of the line joining two identical charges which are fixed. The system will be in equilibrium if that charge is one fourth of the identical charges with opposite sign.
Reason: For charge to be in equilibrium, sum of the forces on charge due to rest of the charges must be non zero.
