Two spheres of electric charges $+2 \ nC$ and $-8 \ nC$ are placed at a distance '$d$' apart. If they are allowed to touch each other,what is the new distance between them to get a repulsive force of the same magnitude as before?

  • A
    $\frac{4d}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{3d}{4}$
  • C
    $d$
  • D

$A$ unit positive point charge of mass $m$ is projected with a velocity $V$ inside a tunnel as shown. The tunnel is made inside a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere of radius $R$ and volume charge density $\rho$. The minimum velocity with which the point charge should be projected such that it can reach the opposite end of the tunnel is equal to

$A$ 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).

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 :-
