Three charges $q$,$Q$,and $4q$ are placed in a straight line of length $l$ at points distant $0$,$\frac{l}{2}$,and $l$ respectively from one end. In order to make the net force on $q$ zero,the charge $Q$ must be equal to

  • A
    $-q$
  • B
    $-2q$
  • C
    $\frac{-q}{2}$
  • D
    $q$

Force of attraction between two point charges $Q$ and $-Q$ separated by $d \, \text{m}$ is $F_e$. When these charges are placed on two identical spheres of radius $R = 0.3 \, d$ whose centres are $d \, \text{m}$ apart,the force of attraction between them is

Two spheres of radii $3 \ cm$ and $1 \ cm$ are placed at a distance of $10 \ cm$ from each other in a vacuum. If each sphere is charged to a potential of $10 \ V$,the force of repulsion between them is:
