Explanation / Answer

force acting on the charge is

F = qE = 6.5 * 10^-6 C(1.85 * 10^8 N/C = 1.20 *10^3N

Columb force between charges is

Fq = kq1 q2/ r^2 = 9 * 10^9 ( 6.5 * 10^-6 )( 8.75 * 10^-6 )/0.0250 m)^2 = 8.18 *10^2 N

net force along x axis zero

Fx = 0

T + Fq - F= 0

T = F-Fq = 1.20 *10^3N- 8.18 *10^2 N=382 N

Now Fq is to the left , since like charges repel

Fx = 0

T- Fq - F = 0

T = F+Fq = 1.20 *10^3N+ 8.18 *10^2 N=2020 N
