Three charge $q$, $Q$ and $4q$ are placed in a straight line of length $l$ at points distant $0,\,\frac {l}{2}$ and $l$ respectively from one end. In order to make the net froce on $q$ zero, the charge $Q$ must be equal to
$-\,q$
$-\,2q$
$\frac {-\,q}{2}$
$q$
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
Assertion : Consider two identical charges placed distance $2d$ apart, along $x-$ axis. The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at the point $O$ midway between them is stable for displacements along the $x-$ axis.
Reason: Force on test charge is zero
Two charges $-\mathrm{q}$ each are fixed separated by distance $2\mathrm{d}$. A third charge $\mathrm{d}$ of mass $m$ placed at the midpoint is displaced slightly by $x (x \,<\,<\, d)$ perpendicular to the line joining the two fixed charged as shown in figure. Show that $\mathrm{q}$ will perform simple harmonic oscillation of time period. $T =\left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$

Two identical conducing spheres having unequal positive charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by distance $r$. If they are made to touch each other and then separated again to the same distance. The electrostatic force between the spheres in this case will be (neglect induction of charges)
