Two point charges $+q_{1}$ and $+q_{2}$ are placed a finite distance '$d$' apart. It is desired to put a third charge $q_{3}$ in between these two charges so that $q_{3}$ is in equilibrium. This is

  • A
    possible only if $q_{3}$ is negative.
  • B
    possible only if $q_{3}$ is positive.
  • C
    possible irrespective of the sign of $q_{3}$.
  • D
    not possible at all.

Two spheres having the same radius and mass are suspended by two strings of equal length from the same point in such a way that their surfaces touch each other. On depositing a charge of $2 \times 10^{-6} \ C$ on them,they repel each other such that in equilibrium,the angle between their strings becomes $60^{\circ}$. If the distance from the point of suspension to the center of the sphere is $10 \ cm$,find the mass of each sphere. $(k = 9 \times 10^9 \ SI, g = 10 \ ms^{-2})$. (in $kg$)

Two charges each of charge $+10 \mu C$ are kept on $Y$-axis at $y=-a$ and $y=+a$, respectively. Another point charge $-20 \mu C$ is placed at the origin and given a small displacement $x$ $(x \ll a)$ along $X$-axis. The force acting on the point charge is ($x$ and $a$ are in metres, $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}=9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}$)
