    $Q^2 / (4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2)$
  • B
    $-Q^2 / (4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2)$

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal length. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When they are immersed in a liquid of density $0.8 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the spheres is $1.6 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,find the dielectric constant of the liquid.

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $+10\,\mu C$ and $-20\,\mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought into contact and then separated to the same distance $R$,they experience a force $F_2$. The ratio of $F_1$ to $F_2$ is:

In a right-angled triangle $ABC$,$AB = 3 \ cm$,$BC = 4 \ cm$,and $\angle ABC = \frac{\pi}{2}$. Charges of $+15 \ e.s.u.$,$+12 \ e.s.u.$,and $-20 \ e.s.u.$ are placed at $A$,$B$,and $C$ respectively. What is the net force on the charge at $B$ in $dynes$?

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:
