Two identical conducting spheres having unequal positive charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are separated by a distance $r$. If they are made to touch each other and then separated again to the same distance $r$,the electrostatic force between the spheres in this case will be (neglect induction of charges):

  • A
    Less than before
  • B
    Same as before
  • C
    More than before
  • D
    Zero

Two spheres carrying charges $+6 \mu C$ and $+9 \mu C$ are separated by a distance $d$ and experience a force of repulsion $F$. When a charge of $-3 \mu C$ is added to both spheres and they are kept at the same distance as before,the new force of repulsion is:

State Coulomb's law and explain its scalar form.

Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force $F$ when placed in air at a distance $d$ apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then returned to their original positions. Now,the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to the initial attractive force. The ratio between the initial charges on the spheres is:
