Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle $\theta$ with each other. When suspended in water,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $1.5 \ g/cc$,the dielectric constant of water will be (Take density of water $= 1 \ g/cc$)

Two point charges $+8 q$ and $-2 q$ are located at $x=0$ and $x=L$ respectively. The location of a point on the $x$-axis from the origin,at which the net electric field due to these two point charges is zero is

$(a)$ In a quark model of elementary particles,a neutron is made of one up quark [ charge $\frac{2}{3}e$ ] and two down quarks [ charges $-\frac{1}{3}e$ ]. Assume that they have a triangle configuration with side length of the order of ${10^{ - 15}} \ m$. Calculate the electrostatic potential energy of the neutron and compare it with its mass $939 \ MeV$. $(b)$ Repeat the above exercise for a proton which is made of two up and one down quark.

Three charges $4q, Q$ and $q$ are in a straight line along the $x$-axis at the positions $x=0 \ m$,$x=\frac{1}{2} \ m$,and $x=1 \ m$ respectively. The resultant force on $q$ will be zero if $Q$ is equal to:

$F$ is the force between two identical charged particles placed at a distance $Y$ from each other. If the distance between the charges is reduced to half the previous distance,then the force between them becomes:

The value of the electric permittivity of free space $(\varepsilon_0)$ is ........
