Assertion : The Coulomb force is the dominating force in the universe.
Reason : The Coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

Two particles of equal mass $m$ and charge $q$ are placed at a distance of $16 \, cm$. They do not experience any net force. The value of $\frac{q}{m}$ is

In a medium,the force of attraction between two point charges,distance $d$ apart,is $F$. What distance apart should these point charges be kept in the same medium,so that the force between them becomes $16F$?

$A$ charge of $4\,\mu C$ is to be divided into two parts. The distance between the two divided charges is constant. What should be the magnitude of the divided charges so that the electrostatic force between them is maximum?

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

$A$ paisa coin is made up of $Al-Mg$ alloy and weighs $0.75\,g$. It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charge of magnitude $34.8\,kC$. Suppose that these equal charges were concentrated in two point charges separated by:
$(i)$ $1\,cm$ $(\sim \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal of the one paisa coin})$
$(ii)$ $100\,m$ $(\sim \text{length of a long building})$
$(iii)$ $10^6\,m$ $(\text{radius of the earth})$.
Find the force on each such point charge in each of the three cases. What do you conclude from these results?
