Assume that you have $10^{23}$ carbon atoms. All the nuclei are placed at the North Pole of the Earth and all the electrons are placed at the South Pole of the Earth. (Radius of Earth = $6400 \ km$). The force between the charges is approximately:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^5 \ N$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^6 \ N$
  • C
    $13.6 \times 10^3 \ N$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^5 \ N$

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal length. The strings make an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with each other. When they are immersed in a liquid of density $0.8 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the spheres is $1.6 \, g \cdot cm^{-3}$,find the dielectric constant of the liquid.
