$A$ sphere of radius $1\,cm$ has a potential of $8000\,V$. The energy density near its surface will be:

$64$ drops of mercury,each charged to a potential of $10\,V$,are combined to form one bigger drop. The potential of this bigger drop will be.......$V$ (Assume all the drops to be spherical).

$A$ charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0, x = 3x_0, x = 5x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$ on the $X$-axis and a charge $-q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = 2x_0, x = 4x_0, x = 6x_0, \dots$ up to $\infty$. Here $x_0$ is a positive constant.
