(N/A) $(1)$ Coulomb's law is valid only for point charges.
$(2)$ It is applicable only when the charges are at rest.
$(3)$ It is valid for distances greater than the nuclear dimension, i.e., $r > 10^{-15} \,m$.
$(4)$ It is not applicable for very large distances where other forces might dominate or the assumption of point charges fails.

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 $F_{12}/F_{13}$?

$A$ charge $Q$ is divided into two parts $q$ and $Q - q$. If the Coulomb repulsion between them when they are separated by a distance $r$ is to be maximum,the ratio of $\frac{Q}{q}$ should be:

Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides of $10 \ cm$ as shown in the figure. The resultant force on the charge at $B$ will be:

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:
