Three charges of each magnitude $100 \mu C$ are placed at the corners $A, B$ and $C$ of an equilateral triangle of side $4 \text{ m}$. If the charges at points $A$ and $C$ are positive and the charge at point $B$ is negative,then the magnitude of the total force acting on the charge at $C$ and the angle made by it with $AC$ are:

The sum of two point positive charges separated by a distance of $1.5 \ m$ in air is $25 \mu C$. If the electrostatic force between the two charges is $0.6 \ N$,then the difference between the two charges is (in $\mu C$)

Two balls with equal charges are in a vessel with ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from each other. On forming water at $0^{\circ} C$,the balls are brought nearer to $5 \ cm$ for the interaction between them to be same. If the dielectric constant of water at $0^{\circ} C$ is $80$,the dielectric constant of ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ is:
