Given below are three schematic graphs of potential energy $V(r)$ versus distance $r$ for three atomic particles : electron $\left(e^{-}\right)$, proton $\left(p^{+}\right)$and neutron $(n)$, in the presence of a nucleus at the origin $O$. The radius of the nucleus is $r_0$. The scale on the $V$-axis may not be the same for all figures. The correct pairing of each graph with the corresponding atomic particle is

Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10\, micro-coulomb$) are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $3\, m$ each, from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium threads are separated by an angle $120^o$ between them, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads (Given : $\frac{1}{{\left( {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}} \right)}} = 9 \times {10^9}\,Nm/{C^2}$)
