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 $L$):

Point charges $+4q, -q$ and $+4q$ are kept on the $x$-axis at points $x = 0, x = a$ and $x = 2a$ respectively. Then:

Two equal charges $q$ are placed at $x = -a$ and $x = a$ on the $x$-axis. $A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q_0 = q/2$ is placed at the origin. If the charge $q_0$ is given a small displacement $(y << a)$ along the $y$-axis,the net force acting on the particle is proportional to .......

Two point charges $+10 \mu C$ and $+4 \mu C$ are placed $10 \ cm$ apart in air. The work required to be done to bring them $2 \ cm$ closer is $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ SI units}\right)$. (in $J$)

If $\varepsilon_0$ and $\varepsilon$ represent the permittivity of free space and absolute permittivity of a medium,then the relative permittivity of the medium is:
