Three charges are placed as shown in the figure. The magnitude of $q_1$ is $2.00\, \mu C$,but its sign and the value of the charge $q_2$ are not known. Charge $q_3$ is $+4.00\, \mu C$,and the net force on $q_3$ is entirely in the negative $x-$ direction. The magnitude of $q_2$ is

Two small spheres of masses $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are suspended by weightless insulating threads of lengths $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$. The spheres carry charges $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ respectively. The spheres are suspended such that they are in level with one another and the threads are inclined to the vertical at angles of $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ as shown. Which one of the following conditions is essential,if $\theta_{1}=\theta_{2}$?

Three point charges of magnitude $5 \mu C$,$0.16 \mu C$,and $0.3 \mu C$ are located at the vertices $A$,$B$,and $C$ of a right-angled triangle whose sides are $AB = 3 \, cm$,$BC = 3 \sqrt{2} \, cm$,and $CA = 3 \, cm$. Point $A$ is the right-angle corner. Calculate the magnitude of the net electrostatic force (in $N$) experienced by the charge at point $A$ due to the other two charges.

Two beads,each with charge $q$ and mass $m$,are on a horizontal,frictionless,non-conducting,circular hoop of radius $R$. One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point,while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by [ $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.]
