Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^o$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $1 \, g \, cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $4/3 \, g \, cm^{-3}$,the dielectric constant of the liquid is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

The electric field $E$ is measured at a point $P(0, 0, d)$ generated due to various charge distributions and the dependence of $E$ on $d$ is found to be different for different charge distributions. List-$I$ contains different relations between $E$ and $d$. List-$II$ describes different electric charge distributions,along with their locations. Match the functions in List-$I$ with the related charge distributions in List-$II$.

$A$ toy car with charge $q$ moves on a frictionless horizontal plane surface under the influence of a uniform electric field $\vec E$. Due to the force $q\vec E$,its velocity increases from $0$ to $6\, m s^{-1}$ in one second. At that instant,the direction of the field is reversed. The car continues to move for two more seconds under the influence of this field. The average velocity and the average speed of the toy car between $0$ to $3$ seconds are respectively:

Six charges,three positive and three negative of equal magnitude,are placed at the corners of a regular hexagon such that the electric field at the center $O$ is double the electric field obtained when only a charge of the same magnitude is placed at $R$. What are the charges at $P, Q, R, S, T,$ and $U$ respectively?

$A$ tiny spherical oil drop carrying a net charge $q$ is balanced in still air with a vertical uniform electric field of strength $\frac{81 \pi}{7} \times 10^5 \text{ Vm}^{-1}$. When the field is switched off,the drop is observed to fall with a terminal velocity $2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ ms}^{-1}$. Given $g = 9.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$,viscosity of the air $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Ns m}^{-2}$,and the density of oil $\rho = 900 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$,the magnitude of $q$ is:
