If a charged body experiences a force of repulsion of magnitude $F$ from a charge of $q_{0}$ , the electric field $E$ of the charged body at a point lying not in between the $2$ charges but on the same line joining two charges, is :

Q. A positively charged ball hangs from a silk thread. We put a positive test charge
