A sphere carrying charge of $Q$ having weight $w$ falls under gravity between a pair of vertical plates at a distance of $d$ from each other. When a potential difference $V$ is applied between the plates the acceleration of sphere changes as shown in the figure, to along line $BC$. The value of $Q$ is :-
