Three charges, each of $+1 \mu C$, are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. If the repulsive force between any two charges is $F$, then the net force on any one charge will be:

  • A
    $2 \,F$
  • B
    $3 \,F$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \,F$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3} \,F$

Two positively charged spheres of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended from a common point at the ceiling by identical insulating massless strings of length $l$. Charges on the two spheres are $q_1$ and $q_2$,respectively. At equilibrium,both strings make the same angle $\theta$ with the vertical. Then

$A$ particle of mass $M$ and charge $q$ is placed at the midpoint between two fixed charges each of magnitude $Q$, separated by a distance $2d$. The system is collinear as shown in the figure. If the particle is displaced by a small distance $x$ $(x \ll d)$ along the line joining the two charges and released, it will oscillate about the mean position with a time period $T$.
