$5$ charges each of magnitude $10^{-5} \,C$ and mass $1 \,kg$ are placed (fixed) symmetrically about a movable central charge of magnitude $5 \times 10^{-5} \,C$ and mass $0.5 \,kg$ as shown in the figure. The charge at $P_1$ is removed. The acceleration of the central charge is [Given,$O P_1=O P_2=O P_3=O P_4=O P_5=1 \,m, \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \,N \cdot m^2/C^2$]

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 $L$):

$A$ and $B$ are two identical blocks made of a conducting material. These are placed on a horizontal frictionless table and connected by a light conducting spring of force constant $K$. The unstretched length of the spring is $L_0$. $A$ charge $Q/2$ is given to each block. Consequently,the spring stretches to an equilibrium length $L$. The value of $Q$ is

Whose result is the whole of electrostatics?

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.

Two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are placed in vacuum at a distance $d$ and the force acting between them is $F$. If a medium of dielectric constant $4$ is introduced around them,the force now will be
