  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $8F$, in the direction of $+Q$ charge
  • C

Two metal plates $(A, B)$ are kept horizontally with a separation of $(\frac{12}{\pi}) \text{ cm}$, with plate $A$ on the top. An atomizer jet sprays oil (density $1.5 \text{ g/cm}^3$) droplets of radius $1 \text{ mm}$ horizontally. All oil droplets carry a charge of $5 \text{ nC}$. The potentials $V_A$ and $V_B$ are required on plates $A$ and $B$ respectively in order to ensure the droplets do not descend. The values of $V_A$ and $V_B$ are . . . . . . .

Three parallel metal plates,each of area $A$,are placed as shown in the figure. Charges $Q_1$,$Q_2$,and $Q_3$ are given to them. Edge effects are negligible. Calculate the charge on the two outermost surfaces '$a$' and '$f$'.

$A$ toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E$. Due to the force $q\vec E$,its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\, m s^{-1}$ in one second. At that instant,the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively:

Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is
