Two point charges $+8 \mu C$ and $+12 \mu C$ repel each other with a force of $48 \ N$. When an additional charge of $-10 \mu C$ is given to each of these charges (the distance between the charges is unaltered),then the new force is:

  • A
    repulsive force of $24 \ N$
  • B
    attractive force of $24 \ N$
  • C
    repulsive force of $12 \ N$
  • D
    attractive force of $2 \ N$

Two point charges $+q_1$ and $+q_2$ repel each other with a force of $100 \ N$. $q_1$ is increased by $10 \%$ and $q_2$ is decreased by $10 \%$. If they are kept at their original positions, the change in the force of repulsion between them is:

Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force $F$ when placed in air at a distance $d$ apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then returned to their original positions. Now,the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to the initial attractive force. The ratio between the initial charges on the spheres is:

Three charges of each magnitude $100 \mu C$ are placed at the corners $A, B$ and $C$ of an equilateral triangle of side $4 \text{ m}$. If the charges at points $A$ and $C$ are positive and the charge at point $B$ is negative,then the magnitude of the total force acting on the charge at $C$ and the angle made by it with $AC$ are:

$A$ charge $Q$ is placed at each of the opposite corners of a square. $A$ charge $q$ is placed at each of the other two corners. If the net electrical force on $Q$ is zero,then $Q/q$ equals:
