The value of Q will be -8 C.

In the presence of an electric or magnetic field, matter experiences a force due to its electric charge.

A moving electric charge generates a magnetic field, and an electric charge has an accompanying electric field.

The information provided in the issue is;

The separation between and is 2m.

An origin charge equals +2 C

The electric fields are identical in magnitude but are facing in different directions. As a result, the following relationship can be used

Q/16=1/2

The value of Q will be -8 C.
