Point charges $+4q, -q$ and $+4q$ are kept on the $x$-axis at points $x = 0, x = a$ and $x = 2a$ respectively. Then:

  • A
    Only $q$ is in stable equilibrium
  • B
    None of the charges are in equilibrium
  • C
    All the charges are in unstable equilibrium
  • D
    All the charges are in stable equilibrium

Two point charges $+6 \mu C$ and $+10 \mu C$ kept at a certain distance repel each other with a force of $30 \ N$. If each charge is given an additional charge of $-8 \mu C$,the two charges:

Two identical charged conducting spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is $q$ and the force of repulsion between them is $F$. $A$ third identical uncharged conducting sphere $C$ is brought in contact with sphere $A$ first and then with $B$ and finally removed from both. The new force of repulsion between spheres $A$ and $B$ (radii of $A$ and $B$ are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that for calculating force between them they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:

$12$ positive charges of magnitude $q$ are placed on a circle of radius $R$ in a manner that they are equally spaced. $A$ charge $Q$ is placed at the centre. If one of the charges $q$ is removed,then the force on $Q$ is

$A$ point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $d$ from one end of a thin non-conducting rod of length $L$ having a charge $Q$ uniformly distributed along its length,as shown in the figure. Find the magnitude of the electric force between them.
