Two equal negative charges $-q$ each are fixed at the points $(0, a)$ and $(0, -a)$ on the $Y$-axis. $A$ positive charge $Q$ is released from rest at the point $(2a, 0)$ on the $X$-axis. The charge $Q$ will :-

  • A
    execute simple harmonic motion about the origin
  • B
    move to the origin and remains at rest
  • C
    move to infinity
  • D
    execute oscillatory but not simple harmonic motion

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:

Which of the following physical quantities have the same dimensions?

The electric field due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius $R$ as a function of the distance from its center is represented by which of the following graphs?

$A$ solid sphere of radius $R$ carries a charge $(Q+q)$ distributed uniformly over its volume. $A$ very small point-like piece of it of mass $m$ gets detached from the bottom of the sphere and falls down vertically under gravity. This piece carries charge $q$. If it acquires a speed $v$ when it has fallen through a vertical height $y$ (see figure),then: (assume the remaining portion to be spherical).
