Two equally charged small balls placed at a fixed distance experience a force $F$. $A$ similar uncharged ball after touching one of them is placed at the middle point between the two balls. The force experienced by this ball is:

  • A
    $F/2$
  • B

  • C
    $2F$
  • D

When $4 \ C$,$Q \ C$,and $1 \ C$ electrical charges are placed along a straight line of length $l$ at positions $0$,$\frac{l}{2}$,and $l$ respectively,what are the values of $Q$ such that the net force on the $4 \ C$ charge is zero,and separately,the net force on the $1 \ C$ charge is zero? (in coulomb)

Three charges are placed as shown in the figure. The magnitude of $q_1$ is $2.00\, \mu C$,but its sign and the value of the charge $q_2$ are not known. Charge $q_3$ is $+4.00\, \mu C$,and the net force on $q_3$ is entirely in the negative $x-$ direction. The magnitude of $q_2$ is

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

Two balls of same mass and carrying equal charge are hung from a fixed support of length $l$. At electrostatic equilibrium,assuming that the angle made by each thread is small,the separation $x$ between the balls is proportional to

Two identical spheres,each carrying a charge $Q = 10 \ \mu C$,are suspended from a single rigid support by strings of length $L = 1 \ m$. In the equilibrium position,if the angle between the two strings is $60^\circ$,what is the tension $T$ in the strings (in $N$)? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2/C^2$)
