$A$ point charge $A$ of $+10 \mu C$ and another point charge $B$ of $+20 \mu C$ are kept $1 \ m$ apart in free space. The electrostatic force on $A$ due to $B$ is $F_1$ and the electrostatic force on $B$ due to $A$ is $F_2$. Then:

  • A
    $F_1 = -2 F_2$
  • B
    $F_1 = -F_2$
  • C
    $2 F_1 = -F_2$
  • D
    $F_1 = F_2$

Three point charges of magnitude $5 \mu C$,$0.16 \mu C$,and $0.3 \mu C$ are located at the vertices $A$,$B$,and $C$ of a right-angled triangle whose sides are $AB = 3 \, cm$,$BC = 3 \sqrt{2} \, cm$,and $CA = 3 \, cm$. Point $A$ is the right-angle corner. Calculate the magnitude of the net electrostatic force (in $N$) experienced by the charge at point $A$ due to the other two charges.

Two small spherical balls,each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10$ micro-coulomb),are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $1\,m$ each,from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium,the threads are separated by an angle of $60^o$ between them,as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads in $N$?
