Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l$ are initially at a distance $d$ $(d << l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres,as:

In a regular polygon of $n$ sides,each corner is at a distance $r$ from the centre. Identical charges are placed at $(n - 1)$ corners. At the centre,the intensity is $E$ and the potential is $V$. The ratio $V/E$ has magnitude.

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81 \pi}{7} \times 10^5 \text{ Vm}^{-1}$. When the field is switched off,the drop is observed to fall with a terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. Given $g = 9.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,viscosity of the air $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Ns m}^{-2}$,and the density of oil $\rho = 900 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,the magnitude of $q$ is:

Two identical point charges are placed at a separation of $l$. $P$ is a point on the line joining the charges,at a distance $x$ from any one charge. The field at $P$ is $E$. $E$ is plotted against $x$ for values of $x$ from close to zero to slightly less than $l$. Which of the following best represents the resulting curve?

Two identical small spheres carry charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ $(Q_1 >> Q_2)$. The force between them is $F_1$. The spheres are brought into contact and then placed at the same distance. The new force between them is $F_2$. Then $F_1/F_2$ will be:

Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells,each of radius $R$,are brought into contact to form a complete sphere. If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them,what is the minimum force $F$ required to hold them together?
