Two spherical conductors $B$ and $C$ having equal radii and carrying equal charges in them repel each other with a force $F$ when kept apart at some distance. A third spherical conductor having same radius as that of $B$ but uncharged is brought in contact with $B$, then brought in contact with $C$ and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between $B$ and $C$ is

Four identical pendulums are made by attaching a small ball of mass $100 \,g$ on a $20 \,cm$ long thread and suspended from the same point. Now, each ball is given charge $Q$, so that balls move away from each other with each thread making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. The value of $Q$ is close to ..............$\mu C$ $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\right.$ in $SI$ units $)$

Two positive point charges of unequal magnitude are placed at a certain distance apart. A small positive test charge is placed at null point, then

The ratio of coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant, $K=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the Gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\; C$, the mass of the electron $=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\; kg$, the mass of the proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-27}\,kg$ ):
