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. As per the condition given,the signs of $q_1$ and $q_2$ will be

  • A
    $+, +$
  • B
    $+, -$
  • C
    $-, +$
  • D

$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. $A$ very small point-like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q$. If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure),then: (assume the remaining portion to be spherical).

$A$ particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is kept at the top of a fixed frictionless sphere. $A$ uniform horizontal electric field $E$ is switched on. The particle loses contact with the sphere when the line joining the center of the sphere and the particle makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The ratio $\frac{qE}{mg}$ is:

Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells,each of radius $R$,are brought into contact to form a complete sphere. If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them,what is the minimum force $F$ required to hold them together?

$A$ pendulum bob of mass $30.7 \times 10^{-6} \, kg$ and carrying a charge $2 \times 10^{-8} \, C$ is at rest in a horizontal uniform electric field of $20000 \, V/m$. The tension in the thread of the pendulum is $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$.
