Important Questions on Electrostatics

HARD
Two isolated conducting spheres S1 and S2 of radius 23R and 13R have 12 μC and -3 μC charges, respectively, and are at a large distance from each other, They are now connected by a conducting wire. A long time after this is done the charges on S1 and S2 are respectively:
MEDIUM
A neutral spherical copper particle has a radius of 10 nm1 nm=10-9 m. It gets charged by applying the voltage slowly adding one electron at a time. Then, the graph of the total charge on the particle versus the applied voltage would look like
EASY
The attractive force results when a glass rod rubbed with a silk and a plastic rod rubbed with a fur brings together. During friction which type of charges are developed on glass rod and plastic rod? 
EASY
Two identical conducting spheres A and B carry equal charge. They are initially separated by a distance much larger than their diameters and the force between them is F. A third identical conducting sphere C is uncharged. Sphere C is first touched to A, then to C and removed. As a result, the force between A and B now is
EASY

As shown in the figure, two particles, each of mass 'm' tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a are kept on a frictionless horizontal surface. When the mid point (P) of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F, the particles move towards each other on the surface. Magnitude of acceleration of each particle, when the separation between them becomes 2x is

Why does a glass rod when rubbed with silk cloth acquire positive charge and not?
MEDIUM
Five Styrofoam balls are suspended from insulating threads. Several experiments are performed on the balls and the following observations are made:
(i) Ball A repels C and attracts B.
(ii) Ball D attracts B and has no effect on E.
(iii) A negatively charged rod attracts both A and E.
An electrically neutral Styrofoam ball gets attracted if placed nearby a charged body due to induced charge. What are the charges, if any, on each ball A,B,C,D and E?
