Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $+10\,\mu C$ and $-20\,\mu C$ respectively and are placed at a distance $R$ from each other,experiencing a force $F_1$. If they are brought into contact and then separated to the same distance $R$,they experience a force $F_2$. The ratio of $F_1$ to $F_2$ is:

Two pith balls,each carrying charge $+q$,are hung from a hook by two strings of length $L$. It is found that when each charge is tripled,the angle between the strings doubles. What was the initial angle between the strings (in $^{\circ}$)?

Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

Two small spheres of masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ are suspended by weightless insulating threads of lengths $L_1$ and $L_2$ respectively. The charges on the spheres are $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively. The spheres are suspended such that they lie in a horizontal line and the threads make angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ with the vertical as shown in the figure. Which of the following conditions is necessary for $\theta_1 = \theta_2$?
