Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force $F$ when placed in air medium at a distance $'d'$ apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then taken to their original positions. Now the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to that of the the initial attractive force. The ratio between initial charges on the spheres is

Three charges are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side ‘$a$’ as shown in the following figure. The force experienced by the charge placed at the vertex $A$ in a direction normal to $BC$ is

Two identical pendulum $A$ and $B$ are suspended from the same point. The bobs are given positive charges, with $A$ having more charge than $B$ . They diverge and reach at equilibrium, with $A$ and $B$ making angles $\theta _1$ and $\theta _2$ with the vertical respectively, Then

Two equal negative charges are fixed at the points $ [0, a ]$ and $[0, -a]$ on the $y-$ axis. A positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the points $[2a, 0]$ on the $x-$axis . The charge $Q$ will
