Two small spheres each having the charge $ + Q$ are suspended by insulating threads of length $L$ from a hook. This arrangement is taken in space where there is no gravitational effect, then the angle between the two suspensions and the tension in each will be

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l,$ are initially at a distance $d\;(d < < l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v.$ Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres, as
