Two equal negative charges $-q$ are placed at points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $Y$-axis. A positive charge $q$ is released from rest at point $(2a, 0)$. What will be the motion of this charge?

  • A
    It will execute $S.H.M.$ about the origin.
  • B
    It will oscillate but not execute $S.H.M.$
  • C
    It will move towards the origin and come to rest.
  • D
    It will move linearly along the $x$-axis.

Two identical small spheres carry charges of $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ with $Q_1 >> Q_2$. The charges are $d$ distance apart. The force they exert on one another is $F_1$. The spheres are made to touch one another and then separated to distance $d$ apart. The force they exert on one another now is $F_2$. Then $F_1/F_2$ is

$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. $A$ very small point-like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q$. If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure),then: (assume the remaining portion to be spherical).

Charges are placed on the vertices of a square as shown. Let $\vec E$ be the electric field and $V$ be the potential at the centre. If the charges on $A$ and $B$ are interchanged with those on $D$ and $C$ respectively,then
