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 $h = x \times 10^{-3} \, m$. The value of $x$ is $..........$. (Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, Nm^2 C^{-2}, g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $300$
  • C
    $400$
  • D
    $100$

Two identical tennis balls each having mass $m$ and charge $q$ are suspended from a fixed point by threads of length $l$. What is the equilibrium separation when each thread makes a small angle $\theta$ with the vertical?

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.
