Three charges are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side '$a$' as shown in the figure. The force experienced by the charge placed at the vertex $A$ in a direction normal to $BC$ is

  • A
    $Q^2 / (4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2)$
  • B
    $-Q^2 / (4\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2)$
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    $Q^2 / (2\pi \varepsilon_0 a^2)$

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal length. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When they are immersed in a liquid of density $0.8 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the spheres is $1.6 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,find the dielectric constant of the liquid.
