Two point charges of $+2 \, \mu \text{C}$ and $+6 \, \mu \text{C}$ repel each other with a force of $12 \, \text{N}$. If a charge of $-4 \, \mu \text{C}$ is added to each,the force will be:

  • A
    $4 \, \text{N}$ (attractive)
  • B
    $60 \, \text{N}$ (attractive)
  • C
    $4 \, \text{N}$ (repulsive)
  • D
    $12 \, \text{N}$ (attractive)

Four identical pendulums are made by attaching a small ball of mass $100 \,g$ on a $20 \,cm$ long thread and suspended from the same point. Now,each ball is given charge $Q$,so that balls move away from each other with each thread making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical. The value of $Q$ is close to ..............$\mu C$ $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9\right.$ in $SI$ units $)$
