The adjacent diagram shows a charge $+Q$ held on an insulating support $S$ and enclosed by a hollow spherical conductor. $O$ represents the centre of the spherical conductor,and $P$ is a point such that $OP = x$ and $SP = r$. The electric field at point $P$ will be

  • A
    $\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 x^2}$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    None of the above

$A$ total charge $q$ is divided into $q_1$ and $q_2$,which are placed at two vertices of an equilateral triangle of side $a$. The magnitude of the electric field $E$ at the third vertex of the triangle is to be depicted schematically as a function of $x = q_1 / q$. Choose the correct figure.

Consider a system of three charges $\frac{q}{3}, \frac{q}{3}$ and $-\frac{2q}{3}$ placed at points $A, B$ and $C$,respectively,as shown in the figure. Take $O$ to be the centre of the circle of radius $R$ and angle $\angle CAB = 60^{\circ}$.

Three point charges $q_1, q_2, q_3$ are placed at the vertices of a triangle. If the forces on $q_1$ and $q_2$ are $(2\hat{i} - \hat{j}) \, N$ and $(\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \, N$,respectively,then what will be the force on $q_3$?

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