Two charges of magnitude $5\, nC$ and $-2\, nC$ are placed at points $(2\, cm, 0, 0)$ and $(x\, cm, 0, 0)$ respectively in a region of space where there is no other external field. If the electrostatic potential energy of the system is $-0.5\,\mu J$,find the value of $x$ in $cm$.

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting,massless strings of same length. At equilibrium,the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $\rho_l = 800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $K = 21$. If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion,then
$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged

$(C)$ mass density of the spheres is $840 \ kg \ m^{-3}$
$(D)$ the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged

The acceleration of an electron due to the mutual attraction between the electron and a proton when they are $1.6 \; \mathring{A}$ apart is,$(m_{e} \simeq 9 \times 10^{-31} \; kg, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; C)$. (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} = 9 \times 10^{9} \; Nm^{2} C^{-2}$)
