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 $m_h = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg]$

$A$ positively charged thin metal ring of radius $R$ is fixed in the $xy$-plane with its centre at the origin $O$. $A$ negatively charged particle $P$ is released from rest at the point $(0, 0, z_0)$,where $z_0 > 0$. Then the motion of $P$ is:

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l$ are initially at a distance $d$ $(d << l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result,the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v$. Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres,as:
