Three charges of each magnitude $100 \mu C$ are placed at the corners $A, B$ and $C$ of an equilateral triangle of side $4 \text{ m}$. If the charges at points $A$ and $C$ are positive and the charge at point $B$ is negative,then the magnitude of the total force acting on the charge at $C$ and the angle made by it with $AC$ are:

$N$ point charges are distributed into two groups and separated by a fixed distance. Then the ratio of maximum to minimum forces between the two groups is ($N$ is even and greater than $2$).

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.
