Three small charged spheres $\displaystyle X, Y$ and $\displaystyle Z$ carrying charges $\displaystyle +q,-q$ and $\displaystyle +q$ respectively are placed equidistant from each other, as shown in the figure. The spheres Y and Z are held in place. Initially X is also held in place, but is otherwise free to move. When X is released, the path followed by it will be :
