Two equal negative charges $-q$ each are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $Y$-axis. $A$ positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $X$-axis. The charge $Q$ will :-

  • A
    execute simple harmonic motion about the origin
  • B
    move to the origin and remains at rest
  • C
    move to infinity
  • D
    execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges of $10\ \mu C$ and $-20\ \mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought in contact and then separated to the same distance,the new force between them is $F_2$. Find the ratio $F_1 : F_2$.

Two identical charged particles,each having a mass $10 \, g$ and charge $2.0 \times 10^{-7} \, C$,are placed on a horizontal table with a separation of $L$ between them such that they stay in limiting equilibrium. If the coefficient of friction between each particle and the table is $0.25$,find the value of $L$ in $cm$. [Use $g = 10 \, m/s^2$]

This question contains Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$ : For a charged particle moving from point $P$ to point $Q$,the net work done by an electrostatic field on the particle is independent of the path connecting point $P$ to point $Q$.
Statement-$2$ : The net work done by a conservative force on an object moving along a closed loop is zero.
