Two spheres having the same radius and mass are suspended by two strings of equal length from the same point in such a way that their surfaces touch each other. On depositing a charge of $2 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ on them,they repel each other such that in equilibrium,the angle between their strings becomes $60^{\circ}$. If the distance from the point of suspension to the center of the sphere is $10 \ cm$,find the mass of each sphere. $(k = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI, g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $kg$)

Two balls of same mass and carrying equal charge are hung from a fixed support of length $l$. At electrostatic equilibrium,assuming that the angle made by each thread is small,the separation $x$ between the balls is proportional to

$A$ point charge $Q$ is placed at the center of the line joining two equal point charges $+q$ and $+q$. The value of $Q$ if the system of the charges is in equilibrium,is

Two small spheres each having the charge $+Q$ are suspended by insulating threads of length $L$ from a hook. This arrangement is taken into space where there is no gravitational effect. Then the angle between the two suspensions and the tension in each will be:

The charges on two spheres are $+7\,\mu C$ and $-5\,\mu C$ respectively. They experience a force $F$. If each of them is given an additional charge of $-2\,\mu C$,the new force of attraction will be
