Two identical pendulums $A$ and $B$ are suspended from the same point. The bobs are given positive charges,with $A$ having more charge than $B$. They diverge and reach equilibrium,with $A$ and $B$ making angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ with the vertical,respectively. Then:

  • A
    $\theta_1 = \theta_2$
  • B
    $\theta_1 > \theta_2$
  • C
    $\theta_1 < \theta_2$
  • D
    Tension in $A$ is smaller than in $B$

If two charges of $1 \,C$ each are placed $1 \,km$ apart,then the force between them will be ........... $N$.

Two identical non-conducting solid spheres of same mass and charge are suspended in air from a common point by two non-conducting,massless strings of same length. At equilibrium,the angle between the strings is $\alpha$. The spheres are now immersed in a dielectric liquid of density $\rho_l = 800 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and dielectric constant $K = 21$. If the angle between the strings remains the same after the immersion,then
$(A)$ electric force between the spheres remains unchanged
$(B)$ electric force between the spheres reduces
$(C)$ mass density of the spheres is $840 \ kg \ m^{-3}$
$(D)$ the tension in the strings holding the spheres remains unchanged

$A$ charged metallic sphere $A$ is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere $B$ held by an insulating handle is brought close to $A$ such that the distance between their centres is $10 \, cm$,as shown in Figure $(a)$. The resulting repulsion of $A$ is noted (for example,by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres $A$ and $B$ are touched by uncharged spheres $C$ and $D$ respectively,as shown in Figure $(b)$. $C$ and $D$ are then removed and $B$ is brought closer to $A$ to a distance of $5.0 \, cm$ between their centres,as shown in Figure $(c)$. What is the expected repulsion of $A$ on the basis of Coulomb's law? Spheres $A$ and $C$ and spheres $B$ and $D$ have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of $A$ and $B$ in comparison to the separation between their centres.

Two small spheres of masses $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are suspended by weightless insulating threads of lengths $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$. The spheres carry charges $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{2}$ respectively. The spheres are suspended such that they are in level with one another and the threads are inclined to the vertical at angles of $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ as shown. Which one of the following conditions is essential,if $\theta_{1}=\theta_{2}$?

Assume that you have $10^{23}$ carbon atoms. All the nuclei are placed at the North Pole of the Earth and all the electrons are placed at the South Pole of the Earth. (Radius of Earth = $6400 \ km$). The force between the charges is approximately:
