$A$ point charge $q_1$ exerts an electric force on a second point charge $q_2$. If a third charge $q_3$ is brought near,the electric force of $q_1$ exerted on $q_2$:

  • A
    Decreases
  • B
    Increases
  • C
    Remains unchanged
  • D
    Increases if $q_3$ is of same sign as $q_1$ and decreases if $q_3$ is of opposite sign

Write the general equation for the Coulombian force on a charge ${q_1}$ due to a system of charges ${q_1}, {q_2}, \dots, {q_n}$.

Two balls with equal charges are in a vessel with ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from each other. On forming water at $0^{\circ} C$,the balls are brought nearer to $5 \ cm$ for the interaction between them to be same. If the dielectric constant of water at $0^{\circ} C$ is $80$,the dielectric constant of ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ is:

Two positive point charges are separated by a distance of $4 \ m$ in air. If the sum of the two charges is $36 \mu C$ and the electrostatic force between them is $0.18 \ N$,then the bigger charge is (in $\mu C$)

Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at a center-to-center spacing of $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged,and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them to be point-like charges at their centers $(F_c)$,and the force is also measured experimentally $(F_m)$. ($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote the magnitude of the force.)

$A$ charge $Q$ is divided into two charges $q$ and $Q-q$. The value of $q$ such that the force between them is maximum,is
