An oil drop carries six electronic charges,has a mass of $1.6 \times 10^{-12} \text{ g}$ and falls with a terminal velocity in air. The magnitude of the vertical electric field required to make the drop move upward with the same speed as it was formerly moving is ........$kN/C$.

$A$ toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E$. Due to the force $q\vec E$,its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\, m s^{-1}$ in one second. At that instant,the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively:

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l$ are initially at a distance $d$ $(d << l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres,as:

$F_g$ and $F_e$ represent the gravitational and electrostatic forces,respectively,between two electrons situated at a distance of $10 \ cm$. The ratio of $F_g/F_e$ is of the order of:

Six charges,three positive and three negative of equal magnitude,are to be placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at $O$ is double the electric field when only one positive charge of the same magnitude is placed at $R$. Which of the following arrangements of charges is possible for $P, Q, R, S, T,$ and $U$ respectively?
