Two small spheres each having the charge $+Q$ are suspended by insulating threads of length $L$ from a hook. This arrangement is taken into space where there is no gravitational effect. Then the angle between the two suspensions and the tension in each will be:

$A$ paisa coin is made up of $Al-Mg$ alloy and weighs $0.75\,g$. It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charge of magnitude $34.8\,kC$. Suppose that these equal charges were concentrated in two point charges separated by:
$(i)$ $1\,cm$ $(\sim \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal of the one paisa coin})$
$(ii)$ $100\,m$ $(\sim \text{length of a long building})$
$(iii)$ $10^6\,m$ $(\text{radius of the earth})$.
Find the force on each such point charge in each of the three cases. What do you conclude from these results?

The value of the electric permittivity of free space $(\varepsilon_0)$ is ........

$A$ and $B$ are two identical blocks made of a conducting material. These are placed on a horizontal frictionless table and connected by a light conducting spring of force constant $K$. The unstretched length of the spring is $L_0$. $A$ charge $Q/2$ is given to each block. Consequently,the spring stretches to an equilibrium length $L$. The value of $Q$ is

Two point charges $A$ and $B$ with magnitudes $+4q$ and $-4q$ are placed along a line separated by a distance $r$. The force acting between them is $F$. If $25\%$ of the charge from point $A$ is transferred to point $B$,the force between the charges now becomes:
