Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10\, micro-coulomb$) are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $3\, m$ each, from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium threads are separated by an angle $120^o$ between them, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads (Given : $\frac{1}{{\left( {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}} \right)}} = 9 \times {10^9}\,Nm/{C^2}$)

The plates $S$ and $T$ of an uncharged parallel plate capacitor are connected across a battery. The battery is then disconnected and the charged plates are now connected in a system as shown in the figure. The system shown is in equilibrium. All the strings are insulating and massless. The magnitude of charge on one of the capacitor plates is: [Area of plates = $A$]
