Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges of $10\ \mu C$ and $-20\ \mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought in contact and then separated to the same distance,the new force between them is $F_2$. Find the ratio $F_1 : F_2$.

  • A
    $1 : 8$
  • B
    $-8 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D
    $-2 : 1$

$A$ point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to $S$ along the path $PQRS$ in a uniform electric field $E$ directed parallel to the positive $X$-axis. The coordinates of points $P, Q, R,$ and $S$ are $(a, b, 0), (2a, 0, 0), (a, -b, 0),$ and $(0, 0, 0)$ respectively. Calculate the work done by the electric field in this process.
