Important Questions on Electrostatics




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

Figure shows tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges. Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio?


Ball repels and attracts .
Ball attracts and has no effect on .
A negatively charged rod attracts both and .
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 and ?

Which of the following four figures correctly show the forces that three charged particles exert on each other?







Write the quadrants in which the following points lie:


A glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the fur rubbed with an ebonite rod. What will be your observation between them?
