An electron is placed just in the middle between two long fixed line charges of charge density `+lambda` each. The wires are in the xy plane (do not consider gravity) A. The equilibrium of the electron will be stable along x-directionB. the equilibrium of the electron will be stable along y-directionC. the equilibrium of the electron will be unstable along y-directionD. the equilibrium of the electron will be stable along z-direction

Answer» Correct Answer - D
If we displace the electron slightly towards X direction, it will thrown away towards right.
so eq. is unstable along x direction.
if we displace the electron slightly towards y direction, no Extra force will act. So eql. Is neutral along y axis . If we displace the electron towards z direction, it will be attract and try to come to eql. positron. so eql. is stable along z direction.
