Two charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal length. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $0.8 \ g/cm^3$,the angle remains the same. The dielectric constant of the liquid is ........ (The density of the material of the sphere is $1.6 \ g/cm^3$.)

The value of electric permittivity of free space is

If $\varepsilon_0$ and $\varepsilon$ represent the permittivity of free space and absolute permittivity of a medium,then the relative permittivity of the medium is:

Select the correct statement from the following.

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.

$A$ 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
