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 $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ SI Units}$)

Four identical pendulums are made by attaching a small ball of mass $100 \,g$ on a $20 \,cm$ long thread and suspended from the same point. Now,each ball is given charge $Q$,so that balls move away from each other with each thread making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. The value of $Q$ is close to ..............$\mu C$ $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\right.$ in $SI$ units $)$

The sum of two point positive charges separated by a distance of $1.5 \ m$ in air is $25 \mu C$. If the electrostatic force between the two charges is $0.6 \ N$,then the difference between the two charges is (in $\mu C$)
