In the figure,the force on the charge at $A$ in the direction perpendicular to $BC$ is ...... .

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:

Positive point charges are placed at the vertices of a star shape as shown in the figure. The direction of the electrostatic force on a negative point charge at the centre $O$ of the star is

An infinite number of point charges,each carrying $1 \,\mu C$ charge,are placed along the y-axis at $y=1 \,m, 2 \,m, 4 \,m, 8 \,m, \ldots$. The total force on a $1 \,C$ point charge,placed at the origin,is $x \times 10^{3} \,N$. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is .........
[Take $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \,N m^{2}/C^{2}$]

If two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are separated by a distance '$d$' and placed in a medium of dielectric constant $K$,what will be the equivalent distance between the charges in air for the same electrostatic force?

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:
