Two identical charged spheres are suspended by strings of equal lengths. The strings make an angle $\theta$ with each other. When suspended in water,the angle remains the same. If the density of the material of the sphere is $1.5 \ g/cc$,the dielectric constant of water will be (Take density of water $= 1 \ g/cc$)

Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

Two particles with charges $+3.72 \mu C$ and $+1.86 \mu C$ are at some distance apart. If $20 \%$ of the charge is transferred from the first particle to the second particle,then the electrostatic force between them is

Two point charges $3 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ and $8 \times 10^{-6} \, C$ repel each other by a force of $6 \times 10^{-3} \, N$. If each of them is given an additional charge $-6 \times 10^{-6} \, C$,the force between them will be

Two charged spheres separated at a distance $d$ exert a force $F$ on each other. If they are immersed in a liquid of dielectric constant $2$,then what is the force (if all conditions are same)?
