  • A
    $4\,N$ (Attractive)
  • B
    $4\,N$ (Repulsive)

$A$ point charge $q_1 = 4 q_0$ is placed at the origin. Another point charge $q_2 = -q_0$ is placed at $x = 12 \, cm$. The charge of a proton is $q_0$. $A$ proton is placed on the $x$-axis such that the net electrostatic force on it is zero. In this situation,the position of the proton from the origin is $.......... \, cm$.

In Millikan's oil drop experiment,an oil drop carrying a charge $Q$ is held stationary by a potential difference of $2400\,V$ between the plates. To keep a drop of half the radius stationary,the potential difference had to be made $600\,V$. What is the charge on the second drop?

$A$ 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.

In the given figure,if $O$ is the midpoint of $AB$,calculate the net force on charge $Q$.
