Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

A ball of mass M is suspended by an insulating string between two parallel metal plates. If the
intensity of the electric field is E, what is the magnitude and sign of the charge that had to be
placed on the ball so that the tension in the string is zero?
