$A$ glass rod rubbed with silk is used to charge a gold leaf electroscope and the leaves are observed to diverge. The electroscope thus charged is exposed to $X$-rays for a short period. Then

  • A
    The divergence of leaves will not be affected
  • B
    The leaves will diverge further
  • C
    The leaves will collapse
  • D
    The leaves will melt

In free space,a particle $A$ of charge $1\,\mu C$ is held fixed at a point $P.$ Another particle $B$ of the same charge and mass $4\,\mu g$ is kept at a distance of $1\,mm$ from $P$. If $B$ is released,then its velocity at a distance of $9\,mm$ from $P$ is [ Take $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2 C^{-2}$ ]

Charges are placed on the vertices of a square as shown. Let $\vec E$ be the electric field and $V$ be the potential at the centre. If the charges on $A$ and $B$ are interchanged with those on $D$ and $C$ respectively,then

Two small spheres of each charge $q$,mass $m$ and material density $d$ are suspended from a fixed point with the help of inextensible light threads. When the spheres are in air,the angle between the threads is $90^{\circ}$. When the spheres are suspended in a liquid of density $\frac{2}{3} d$,the angle between the threads is $60^{\circ}$. The value of the dielectric constant of the liquid is
