In two cases, two identical conducting spheres are given equal charges, in one case of the same type whereas in another case of the opposite type. The distance between the spheres is not large as compared with the diameter. Let and be the magnitude of the force of interaction between the spheres, as shown, then

Two similar balloons filled with helium gas are tied to strings each of length A body of mass is tied to another end of the strings. The balloons float on air at distance If the amount of charge on the balloons is same then the magnitude of charge on each balloon will be



Two identical small balls each have a mass and charge When placed in a hemispherical bowl of radius with frictionless, nonconductive walls, the beads move, and at equilibrium the line joining the balls is horizontal and the distance between them is (see figure). Neglect any induced charge on the hemispherical bowl. Then the charge on each bead is

A thin semi-circular ring of radius has a positive charge distributed uniformly over it. The net field at the centre is
