Q.
Four-point charges, each of charge +q, are rigidly fixed at the four corners of a square planar soap film of side 'σ' . The surface tension of the soap film is a. If the system of charges and planar film are in equilibrium, then side of square is givenas a=14π∈01+122⋅q2σ1/N, find the value of N.
