If $\varepsilon_0$ and $\varepsilon$ represent the permittivity of free space and absolute permittivity of a medium,then the relative permittivity of the medium is:

  • A
    $\frac{\varepsilon^2}{\varepsilon_0}$
  • B
    $\frac{\varepsilon_0}{\varepsilon}$
  • C
    $\varepsilon \varepsilon_0$
  • D
    $\frac{\varepsilon}{\varepsilon_0}$

Two charges each of charge $+10 \mu C$ are kept on $Y$-axis at $y=-a$ and $y=+a$, respectively. Another point charge $-20 \mu C$ is placed at the origin and given a small displacement $x$ $(x \ll a)$ along $X$-axis. The force acting on the point charge is ($x$ and $a$ are in metres, $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$)

Two identical spheres,each of mass $1 \, g$,carry an identical charge of $10^{-9} \, C$. They are suspended by strings of equal length. If the distance between the centers of the spheres is $0.3 \, cm$,what is the angle made by the string with the vertical?

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length. The equilibrium separation between them is $r$. Now,the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:
