Two identical conducting spheres $P$ and $S$ with charge $Q$ on each, repel each other with a force $16 \,N$. $A$ third identical uncharged conducting sphere $R$ is successively brought in contact with the two spheres. The new force of repulsion between $P$ and $S$ is: (in $\,N$)

Three identical charged balls,each of charge $2 \, C$,are suspended from a common point $P$ by silk threads of $2 \, m$ each (as shown in the figure). They form an equilateral triangle of side $1 \, m$. The ratio of the net electrostatic force on one charged ball to the force between any two charged balls is ...........

Three identical charges,each $2 \mu C$,lie at the vertices of a right-angled triangle as shown in the figure. Forces on the charge at $B$ due to the charges at $A$ and $C$ respectively are $F_1$ and $F_2$. The angle between their resultant force and $F_2$ is

Five charges, each $+Q$, are placed at five vertices of a regular hexagon of side length $L$. What is the magnitude of the force on a charge $-Q$ placed at the center of the hexagon?

$A$ charge $+Q$ is placed at each of the diagonally opposite corners of a square. $A$ charge $-q$ is placed at each of the other diagonally opposite corners as shown. If the net electrical force on $+Q$ is zero,then $\frac{+Q}{-q}$ is equal to

Two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ are placed at a distance of $50 \ cm$ from each other in air and interact with a certain force. Now,these charges are placed in an oil with a relative permittivity of $5$. If the force between them remains the same,the distance between them in the oil is ........ $cm$.
