  • B

    On the surface of the sphere $A$

  • C

    Equal on both

  • D

Check that the ratio $ke ^{2} / G m _{ e } m _{ p }$ is dimensionless. Look up a Table of Physical Constants and determine the value of this ratio. What does the ratio signify?

Two insulated charged copper spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a distance of $50 \;cm$.  the charge on each is $6.5 \times 10^{-7}\; C?$ Suppose the spheres $A$ and $B$ have identical sizes.A third sphere of the same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first, then brought in contact with the second, and finally removed from both. What is the new force of repulsion between $A$ and $B?$

Point charge $q$ moves from point $P$ to point $S$ along the path $PQRS$ (figure shown) in a uniform electric field $E$ pointing coparallel to the positive direction of the $X - $axis. The coordinates of the points $P,\,Q,\,R$ and $S$ are $(a,\,b,\,0),\;(2a,\,0,\,0),\;(a,\, - b,\,0)$ and $(0,\,0,\,0)$ respectively. The work done by the field in the above process is given by the expression
