Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

  • A
    $\frac{Q^2}{16 \pi \varepsilon_0 L^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q^2}{8 \pi \varepsilon_0 L^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 L^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q^2}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 L^2}$

$A$ narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius $R,$ as shown in the figure. Two small holes $S$ and $D$ are made in the tube at positions right-angled to each other. $A$ source placed at $S$ generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path,while the other travels along the shorter path. Both the waves meet at the point $D$ where a detector is placed. The maximum value of $\lambda$ to produce a maxima at $D$ is given by
