Five balls numbered $1$ to $5$ are suspended using separate threads. Pairs $(1, 2), (2, 4)$ and $(4, 1)$ show electrostatic attraction,while pairs $(2, 3)$ and $(4, 5)$ show repulsion. Ball $1$ must be:

Two identical charged spheres of material density $\rho$,suspended from the same point by inextensible strings of equal length,make an angle $\theta$ between the strings. When suspended in a liquid of density $\sigma$,the angle $\theta$ remains the same. The dielectric constant $K$ of the liquid is

Answer carefully:
$(a)$ Two large conducting spheres carrying charges $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ are brought close to each other. Is the magnitude of electrostatic force between them exactly given by $Q_{1} Q_{2} / 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r^{2}$,where $r$ is the distance between their centres?
$(b)$ If Coulomb's law involved $1/r^{3}$ dependence (instead of $1/r^{2}$),would Gauss's law be still true?
$(c)$ $A$ small test charge is released at rest at a point in an electrostatic field configuration. Will it travel along the field line passing through that point?
$(d)$ What is the work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron? What if the orbit is elliptical?
$(e)$ We know that electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. Is electric potential also discontinuous there?
$(f)$ What meaning would you give to the capacitance of a single conductor?
$(g)$ Guess a possible reason why water has a much greater dielectric constant $(=80)$ than,say,mica $(=6)$?

The electric field is in the direction of the $x$-axis. The work done to move a charge of $0.2 \ C$ by a distance of $2 \ m$ at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the $x$-axis is $4 \ J$. What is the value of the electric field $E$ in $N/C$?

An infinitely long thin wire,having a uniform charge density per unit length of $5 \text{ nC/m}$,is passing through a spherical shell of radius $1 \text{ m}$,as shown in the figure. $A$ $10 \text{ nC}$ charge is distributed uniformly over the spherical shell. If the configuration of the charges remains static,the magnitude of the potential difference between points $P$ and $R$,in Volt,is. . . .
[Given: In $SI$ units $\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9, \ln 2=0.7$. Ignore the area pierced by the wire.]

Five balls marked $a$ to $e$ are suspended using separate threads. Pairs $(b, c)$ and $(d, e)$ show electrostatic repulsion,while pairs $(a, b)$,$(c, e)$,and $(a, e)$ show electrostatic attraction. The ball marked $a$ must be:
