Two spheres of electric charges $+2 \ nC$ and $-8 \ nC$ are placed at a distance '$d$' apart. If they are allowed to touch each other,what is the new distance between them to get a repulsive force of the same magnitude as before?

  • A
    $\frac{4d}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3d}{4}$
  • C
    $d$
  • D
    $\frac{d}{2}$

Two identical small spheres carry charges of $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ with $Q_1 >> Q_2$. The charges are $d$ distance apart. The force they exert on one another is $F_1$. The spheres are made to touch one another and then separated to distance $d$ apart. The force they exert on one another now is $F_2$. Then $F_1/F_2$ is

Let $E_1(r)$,$E_2(r)$,and $E_3(r)$ be the respective electric fields at a distance $r$ from a point charge $Q$,an infinitely long wire with constant linear charge density $\lambda$,and an infinite plane with uniform surface charge density $\sigma$. If $E_1(r_0) = E_2(r_0) = E_3(r_0)$ at a given distance $r_0$,then:

Two identical metallic spheres $A$ and $B$ when placed at a certain distance in air repel each other with a force of $F$. Another identical uncharged sphere $C$ is first placed in contact with $A$ and then in contact with $B$ and finally placed at the midpoint between spheres $A$ and $B$. The force experienced by sphere $C$ will be:

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 $F_1 : F_2$.

An inclined plane making an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal is placed in a uniform horizontal electric field of $100 \ Vm^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. $A$ small block of mass $1 \ kg$ and charge $0.01 \ C$ is allowed to slide down from rest from a height $h=1 \ m$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$,then the acceleration of the block is nearly,
