Point charges $ + 4q,\, - q$ and $ + 4q$ are kept on the $x - $axis at points $x = 0,\,x = a$ and $x = 2a$ respectively, then
Only $q$ is in stable equilibrium
None of the charges are in equilibrium
All the charges are in unstable equilibrium
All the charges are in stable equilibrium
Two equally charged, identical metal spheres $A$ and $B$ repel each other with a force '$F$'. The spheres are kept fixed with a distance '$r$' between them. A third identical, but uncharged sphere $C$ is brought in contact with $A$ and then placed at the mid-point of the line joining $A$ and $B$. The magnitude of the net electric force on $C$ is
Three charges are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side ‘$a$’ as shown in the following figure. The force experienced by the charge placed at the vertex $A$ in a direction normal to $BC$ is
Two charges each of magnitude $Q$ are fixed at $2a$ distance apart. A third charge ($-q$ of mass $'m'$) is placed at the mid point of the two charges; now $-q$ charge is slightly displaced perpendicular to the line joining the charges then find its time period
Two point charges $ + 3\,\mu C$ and $ + 8\,\mu C$ repel each other with a force of $40\,N$. If a charge of $ - 5\,\mu C$ is added to each of them, then the force between them will become....$N$
The ratio of the forces between two small spheres with constant charge $(a)$ in air $(b)$ in a medium of dielectric constant $K$ is
