Three charges, each of $+1 \mu C$, are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. If the repulsive force between any two charges is $F$, then the net force on any one charge will be:

  • A
    $2 \,F$
  • B
    $3 \,F$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \,F$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3} \,F$

Three identical charges are placed on three vertices of a square. If the force acting between $q_1$ and $q_2$ is $F_{12}$ and between $q_1$ and $q_3$ is $F_{13}$,then $\frac{F_{13}}{F_{12}} = $ . . . . . . .

Two spheres having the same radius and mass are suspended by two strings of equal length from the same point in such a way that their surfaces touch each other. On depositing a charge of $2 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ on them,they repel each other such that in equilibrium,the angle between their strings becomes $60^{\circ}$. If the distance from the point of suspension to the center of the sphere is $10 \ cm$,find the mass of each sphere. $(k = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI, g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $kg$)
