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?

$A$ total charge $q$ is divided into $q_1$ and $q_2$,which are placed at two vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The magnitude of the electric field $E$ at the third vertex of the triangle is to be depicted schematically as a function of $x = q_1 / q$. Choose the correct figure.

Two point charges $4\,\mu C$ and $-1\,\mu C$ are kept at a distance of $3\ m$ from each other. What is the electric potential at the point where the electric field is zero?

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 $F_1 : F_2$.

The figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, $CsCl$. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles, are situated at the corners of a cube of side $0.40 \, nm$, whereas a $Cl$ atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The $Cs$ atoms are deficient in one electron while the $Cl$ atom carries an excess electron.
$(i)$ What is the net electric field on the $Cl$ atom due to eight $Cs$ atoms?
$(ii)$ Suppose that the $Cs$ atom at the corner $A$ is missing. What is the net force now on the $Cl$ atom due to the seven remaining $Cs$ atoms?

$A$ charged cork of mass $m$ suspended by a light string is placed in a uniform electric field of strength $E = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \times 10^5 \ NC^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. If in the equilibrium position,the tension in the string is $\frac{2mg}{(1 + \sqrt{3})}$,then the angle $\alpha$ with the vertical is:
