Two point charges of $+2\,\mu C$ and $+6\,\mu C$ repel each other with a force of $12\,N$. If each is given an additional charge of $-4\,\mu C$,then the force will become:

  • A
    $4\,N$ (attractive)
  • B
    $60\,N$ (attractive)
  • C
    $4\,N$ (repulsive)
  • D
    $12\,N$ (attractive)

Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F$. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls, $\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}$, is:

Two pith balls carrying equal charges are suspended from a common point by strings of equal length. The equilibrium separation between them is $r$. Now,the strings are rigidly clamped at half the height. The equilibrium separation between the balls now becomes:

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.)

$A$ point charge $q_1$ exerts a force $F$ upon another point charge $q_2$. If a third charge $q_3$ is placed near the charge $q_2$, then the force that charge $q_1$ exerts on the charge $q_2$ will be

If the distance between two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ is doubled,what will be the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them?
