Two similar tiny balls of mass $m$,each carrying charge $q$,are hung from silk threads of length $l$ as shown in the figure. These are separated by a distance $x$ and the angle $2\theta$ is small. Then,for equilibrium:

  • A
    $x = 2l$
  • B
    $x = \frac{lq^2}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 mg}$
  • C
    $x = \left(\frac{q^2 mg}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\right)^{1/2}$
  • D
    $x = \left(\frac{q^2 l}{2\pi\varepsilon_0 mg}\right)^{1/3}$

$A$ charge of $1 \mu C$ is divided into two parts such that their charges are in the ratio of $2: 3$. These two charges are kept at a distance of $1 \ m$ apart in vacuum. Then,the electric force between them (in $N$) is

Two balls with equal charges are in a vessel with ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from each other. On forming water at $0^{\circ} C$,the balls are brought nearer to $5 \ cm$ for the interaction between them to be same. If the dielectric constant of water at $0^{\circ} C$ is $80$,the dielectric constant of ice at $-10^{\circ} C$ is:
