Two spheres of electric charges $+2 \ nC$ and $-8 \ nC$ are placed at a distance '$d$' apart. If they are allowed to touch each other,what is the new distance between them to get a repulsive force of the same magnitude as before?

  • A
    $\frac{4d}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3d}{4}$
  • C
    $d$
  • D

An infinite plane sheet of charge having uniform surface charge density $+\sigma_s \text{ C/m}^2$ is placed on the $x-y$ plane. Another infinitely long line charge having uniform linear charge density $+\lambda_e \text{ C/m}$ is placed at the $z=4 \text{ m}$ plane and is parallel to the $y$-axis. If the magnitude values satisfy $|\sigma_s| = 2|\lambda_e|$,then at the point $(0, 0, 2)$,the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field values due to the sheet charge to that of the line charge is $\pi \sqrt{n} : 1$. The value of $n$ is:
