$12$ positive charges of magnitude $q$ are placed on a circle of radius $R$ in a manner that they are equally spaced. $A$ charge $Q$ is placed at the centre. If one of the charges $q$ is removed,then the force on $Q$ is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$ away from the position of the removed charge
  • C
    $\frac{11 q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$ away from the position of the removed charge
  • D
    $\frac{q Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R^2}$ towards the position of the removed charge

$A$ certain charge $Q$ is divided into two parts $q$ and $(Q-q)$. How should the charges $Q$ and $q$ be divided so that $q$ and $(Q-q)$ placed at a certain distance apart experience maximum electrostatic repulsion?

Four charges are arranged at the corners of a square $ABCD$,as shown in the adjoining figure. The force on the charge kept at the centre $O$ is

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.

Two charges $2 C$ and $6 C$ are separated by a finite distance. If a charge of $-4 C$ is added to each of them, the initial force of $12 \times 10^3 \,N$ will change to
