Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting,massless strings of same length. At equilibrium,the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $\rho_l = 800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $K = 21$. If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion,then
$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged
$(B)$ electric force between the spheres reduces
$(C)$ mass density of the spheres is $840 \ kg \ m^{-3}$
$(D)$ the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged

Two identical conducting spheres with negligible volume have $2.1 \, nC$ and $-0.1 \, nC$ charges,respectively. They are brought into contact and then separated by a distance of $0.5 \, m$. The electrostatic force acting between the spheres is $.......... \times 10^{-9} \, N$. [Given: $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} = 9 \times 10^{9} \, N \cdot m^{2}/C^{2}$]
