An infinite number of point charges, each carrying 1μC1\mu C1μC charge, are placed along the y-axis at y=1m,2m,4m,8m....y=1m,2m,4m,8m....y=1m,2m,4m,8m....

The total force on a 1C1C1C point charge, placed at the origin, is x×103Nx\times {10}^{3}Nx×103N. The value of xxx, to the nearest integer, is ___ .

[Take 14πϵ0=9×109Nm2C−2\frac{1}{4\pi {\epsilon }_{0}}=9\times {10}^{9}N{m}^{2}{C}^{-2}4πϵ0​1​=9×109Nm2C−2]
