$A$ charge $Q$ is divided into two parts $q$ and $Q - q$. If the Coulomb repulsion between them when they are separated by a distance $r$ is to be maximum,the ratio of $\frac{Q}{q}$ should be:

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $0.25$

Two spherical conductors $B$ and $C$ having equal radii and carrying equal charges $Q$ repel each other with a force $F$ when kept apart at a distance $r$. $A$ third spherical conductor having the same radius as that of $B$ but uncharged is brought in contact with $B$,then brought in contact with $C$,and finally removed away from both. The new force of repulsion between $B$ and $C$ is

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:

Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with each other.
