Three charges each of magnitude $q$ are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. The electrostatic force on the charge $Q$ placed at the center is (each side of the triangle is $L$):

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _0}\frac{q^2}{L^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon _0}\frac{3q^2}{L^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{12\pi \varepsilon _0}\frac{q^2}{L^2}$

Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

Two equally charged,identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force '$F$'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance '$r$' between them. $A$ third identical,but uncharged sphere $C$ is brought in contact with $A$ and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining $A$ and $B$. The magnitude of the net electric force on $C$ is
