Three equal charges are placed on the three corners of a square. If the force between $q_1$ and $q_2$ is $F_{12}$ and that between $q_1$ and $q_3$ is $F_{13}$,the ratio of magnitudes $\frac{F_{12}}{F_{13}}$ is

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • D

When the distance between the charged particles is halved,the force between them becomes

Two identical spheres,each carrying a charge $Q = 10 \ \mu C$,are suspended from a single rigid support by strings of length $L = 1 \ m$. In the equilibrium position,if the angle between the two strings is $60^\circ$,what is the tension $T$ in the strings (in $N$)? (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ N \cdot m^2/C^2$)

Two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are '$l$' distance apart. If one of the charges is doubled and the distance between them is halved, the magnitude of the force becomes $n$ times, where $n$ is:

Two point charges $+3\,\mu C$ and $+8\,\mu C$ repel each other with a force of $40\,N$. If a charge of $-5\,\mu C$ is added to each of them,then the force between them will become....$N$

$N$ point charges are distributed into two groups and separated by a fixed distance. Then the ratio of maximum to minimum forces between the two groups is ($N$ is even and greater than $2$).
