Two positively charged particles $X$ and $Y$ are initially far away from each other and at rest. $X$ begins to move towards $Y$ with some initial velocity. The total momentum and energy of the system are $p$ and $E$.

  • A
    If $Y$ is fixed,both $p$ and $E$ are conserved.
  • B
    If $Y$ is fixed,$E$ is conserved,but not $p$.
  • C
    If both are free to move,$p$ is conserved but not $E$.
  • D
    If both are free,$E$ is conserved,but not $p$.

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When suspended in a liquid of density $0.8 \; g \, cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $1.6 \; g \, cm^{-3}$,the dielectric constant of the liquid is:

Two identical metal spheres charged with $+12 \mu C$ and $-8 \mu C$ are kept at a certain distance in air. They are brought into contact and then kept at the same distance. The ratio of the magnitudes of electrostatic forces between them before and after contact is (in $: 1$)

The force between two conducting spheres of same radius having charges $+8 \mu C$ and $-4 \mu C$ separated by some distance in air is $F$. If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire and after some time the wire is removed,then the magnitude of the force between the two conducting spheres is

An uncharged metal sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates. The pattern of the electric field lines will be:

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. It is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$. If a point charge $q_A$ is placed at the center and another point charge $q_B$ is placed at a distance $c (> b)$ from the center of the shell,then choose the correct statement.
