Two pith balls, each carrying charge $+q$, are hung from a hook by two strings of length $L$. It is found that when each charge is tripled, the angle between the strings doubles. What was the initial angle between the strings (in $^{\circ}$)?

$A$ point charge $q_1 = 4 q_0$ is placed at the origin. Another point charge $q_2 = -q_0$ is placed at $x = 12 \, cm$. The charge of a proton is $q_0$. $A$ proton is placed on the $x$-axis such that the net electrostatic force on it is zero. In this situation,the position of the proton from the origin is $.......... \, cm$.

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:
