Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, mg$ and charge $q$ is placed at the midpoint of two stationary particles,each carrying the same charge $q$,kept at a distance of $2 \, m$. If the free charged particle is displaced from its equilibrium position by a small distance $x$ $(x \ll 1 \, m)$,it executes $SHM$. Its angular frequency of oscillation will be $.... \times 10^{8} \, rad/s$ if $q^{2} = 10 \, C^{2}$.

Three charges are placed as shown in the figure. The magnitude of $q_1$ is $2.00\, \mu C$,but its sign and the value of the charge $q_2$ are not known. Charge $q_3$ is $+4.00\, \mu C$,and the net force on $q_3$ is entirely in the negative $x-$ direction. The magnitude of $q_2$ is

$A$ charge of $1 \mu C$ is divided into two parts such that their charges are in the ratio of $2: 3$. These two charges are kept at a distance of $1 \ m$ apart in vacuum. Then,the electric force between them (in $N$) is

$A$ charge $Q$ is divided into two charges $q$ and $Q-q$. The value of $q$ such that the force between them is maximum,is
