An infinite number of charges,each of charge $1 \,\mu C$,are placed on the $x$-axis at coordinates $x = 1, 2, 4, 8, ... \infty$. If a charge of $1 \, C$ is kept at the origin,what is the net force acting on the $1 \, C$ charge in Newtons?

  • A
    $9000$
  • B

As shown in the figure,a configuration of two equal point charges $(q_0 = +2 \mu C)$ is placed on an inclined plane. The mass of each point charge is $20 \, g$. Assume that there is no friction between the charge and the plane. For the system of two point charges to be in equilibrium (at rest),the height $h = x \times 10^{-3} \, m$.

Three charges $+5 q, Q$ and $-2 q$ are kept along a straight line in the same order such that $+5 q$ and $-2 q$ charges are at a distance of $\frac{2 r}{3}$ and $\frac{r}{3}$ from the charge $Q$ respectively. If the net force on the charge $-2 q$ is zero,then $Q$ is

Two beads,each with charge $q$ and mass $m$,are on a horizontal,frictionless,non-conducting,circular hoop of radius $R$. One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point,while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by [ $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.]
