Two identical balls having like charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ are placed at a certain distance $r$ apart and repel each other with a force $F_1$. They are brought into contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation $(r/2)$. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is

Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is $-e,$ the other is $(e + \Delta e).$ If the net electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance $d$ (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then $\Delta e$ is of the order of $[$ Given: mass of hydrogen $m_h = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg]$

Two small spheres each carrying a charge $q$ are placed $r$ metre apart. If one of the spheres is taken around the other one in a circular path of radius $r$,the work done will be equal to

For two electrons separated by a distance of $10 \, cm$,let $F_g$ and $F_e$ represent the gravitational force and electrostatic force between them,respectively. The ratio $F_g / F_e$ is of the order of:

Consider a gravity-free container as shown. The system is initially at rest and the electric potential in the region is $V = (y^3 + 2) \text{ J/C}$. A ball of charge $q = -0.5 \text{ C}$ and mass $m = 2 \text{ kg}$ is released from rest from the base $(y=0)$. It starts to move up due to the electric field and collides with the shaded top face $(y=2 \text{ m})$ as shown. If its speed just after the collision is $1.5 \text{ m/s}$ and the time for which the ball is in contact with the shaded face is $0.1 \text{ s}$, find the external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during the collision, assuming the ball exerts a constant force on the wall during the entire span of the collision.
