Two point charges $q_1 = 3 \mu \text{C}$ and $q_2 = -4 \mu \text{C}$ are placed at points $(2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 3\hat{k})$ and $(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ respectively. Force on charge $q_2$ is . . . . . . $N$. (Take $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ SI Units}$)

$A$ 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?

Three charges $+Q, q, +Q$ are placed respectively at distances $0, \frac{d}{2},$ and $d$ from the origin on the $x$-axis. If the net force experienced by the charge $+Q$ placed at $x = 0$ is zero,then the value of $q$ is:

Two identical particles of mass $m$ and charge $q$ are shot at each other from a very great distance with an initial speed $v$. The distance of closest approach of these charges is

Two small spheres,each carrying a charge of $+q$,are connected by an insulating string of length $2a$. What is the tension in the string?
