Two similar spheres having $ + \,q$ and $ - \,q$ charge are kept at a certain distance. $F$ force acts between the two. If in the middle of two spheres, another similar sphere having $ + \,q$ charge is kept, then it experience a force in magnitude and direction as

  • A

    Zero having no direction

  • B

    $8F$ towards $ + \,q$ charge

  • C

    $8F$ towards $ - \,q$ charge

  • D

    $4F$ towards $ + \,q$ charge

The charges on two sphere are $+7\,\mu C$ and $-5\,\mu C$ respectively. They experience a force $F$. If each of them is given and additional charge of $-2\,\mu C$, the new force of attraction will be

Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at center-to-center spacing $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them point like charges at their centers and the force is also measured experimentally. The calculated and measured forces are denoted by $F_c$ and $F_m$ respectively.
($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote magnitude of force)
