Three charges of equal magnitude are placed at three corners of a square of side $a$. If $F_{12}$ is the force between the charges at corners $1$ and $2$,and $F_{13}$ is the force between the charges at corners $1$ and $3$,what is the ratio $F_{12}/F_{13}$?

$A$ point charge of $40 \ statC$ is placed $2 \ cm$ in front of an earthed metallic plane plate of large size. The force of attraction on the point charge is.....$dynes$.

Three charges $q, Q$ and $+4q$ are placed in a straight line of length $d$ at points at distances $0, \frac{d}{2}$ and $d$ respectively. In order to make the net force on $q$ to be zero,the value of $Q$ should be

Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at a center-to-center spacing of $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged,and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them to be point-like charges at their centers $(F_c)$,and the force is also measured experimentally $(F_m)$. ($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote the magnitude of the force.)

Two point charges $+9e$ and $+e$ are placed at a distance of $16\, cm$ from each other. Where should a third charge $q$ be placed between them so that the system remains in equilibrium?
