In general, metallic ropes are suspended on the carriers which take inflammable material. The reason is
There speed is controlled
To keep the centre of gravity of the carrier nearer to the earth
To keep the body of the carrier in contact with the earth
Nothing should be placed under the carrier
The ratio of coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant, $K=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the Gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $=1.6 \times 10^{-19}\; C$, the mass of the electron $=9.11 \times 10^{-31}\; kg$, the mass of the proton $=1.67 \times 10^{-27}\,kg$ ):
Similar charges are placed at corners of a square and a charge $q_0$ is placed at it's centre find net force on it
Two identical conducting spheres, having charges of opposite sign, attract each other with a force of $0.108$ $N$ when separated by $0.5$ $m$. The spheres are connected by a conducting wire, which is then removed, and thereafter, they repel each other with a force of $ 0.036$ $N$. The initial charges on the spheres are
A given charge is situated at a certain distance from an electric dipole in the end-on position experiences a force $F$. If the distance of the charge is doubled, the force acting on the charge will be
Two charges ${q_1}$ and ${q_2}$ are placed in vacuum at a distance $d$ and the force acting between them is $F$. If a medium of dielectric constant $4$ is introduced around them, the force now will be
