Three point charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ are placed at the vertices of a triangle. If the forces on $q_1$ and $q_2$ are $(2\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$ and $(\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \, N$,respectively,then what will be the force on $q_3$?

Consider a gravity-free container as shown. The system is initially at rest and the electric potential in the region is $V = (y^3 + 2) \text{ J/C}$. A ball of charge $q = -0.5 \text{ C}$ and mass $m = 2 \text{ kg}$ is released from rest from the base $(y=0)$. It starts to move up due to the electric field and collides with the shaded top face $(y=2 \text{ m})$ as shown. If its speed just after the collision is $1.5 \text{ m/s}$ and the time for which the ball is in contact with the shaded face is $0.1 \text{ s}$, find the external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during the collision, assuming the ball exerts a constant force on the wall during the entire span of the collision.

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 $F_1 : F_2$.

Two metal plates $(A, B)$ are kept horizontally with a separation of $(\frac{12}{\pi}) \text{ cm}$,with plate $A$ on the top. An atomizer jet sprays oil (density $1.5 \text{ g/cm}^3$) droplets of radius $1 \text{ mm}$ horizontally. All oil droplets carry a charge of $5 \text{ nC}$. The potentials $V_A$ and $V_B$ are required on plates $A$ and $B$ respectively in order to ensure the droplets do not descend. The values of $V_A$ and $V_B$ are . . . . . . . (Neglect the air resistance to the droplets and take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)
