Six charges,three positive and three negative of equal magnitude,are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at the center $O$ is double the electric field obtained when only a charge of the same magnitude is placed at $R$. What are the charges at $P, Q, R, S, T,$ and $U$ respectively?

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^o$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $1 \, g \, cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $4/3 \, g \, cm^{-3}$,the dielectric constant of the liquid is:

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

$A$ toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E$. Due to the force $q\vec E$,its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\, m s^{-1}$ in one second. At that instant,the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively:
