A ball at is in equilibrium as it is attached with two strings and which are tied at and . The charges at and are and respectively. Find the correct options. The ball at is positively charged.


interchanged, the ball will remain in equilibrium.


Important Questions on Coulomb's Law and Electric Field
A charged cork of mass suspended by a light string is placed in a uniform electric field of strength as shown in the figure. If in equilibrium position tension in the string is , then angle with the vertical can be

The following figure shows a block of mass suspended from a fixed point by means of a vertical spring. The block is oscillating simple harmonically and carries a charge There also exists a uniform electric field in the region. Consider four different cases. The electric field is zero in case , downward in case , upward in case , and downward in case . The speed at the mean position is the same in all cases. Select the correct alternative(s).
