Three point charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Assuming only electrostatic forces are acting

  • A

    The system can never be in equilibrium

  • B

    The system will be in equilibrium if the charges rotate about the centre of the triangle

  • C

    The system will be in equilibrium if the charges have different magnitudes and different signs.

  • D

    The system will be in equilibrium if the charges have the same magnitudes but different signs

Two identical charged spheres suspended from a common point by two massless strings of lengths $l,$ are initially at a distance $d\;(d < < l)$ apart because of their mutual repulsion. The charges begin to leak from both the spheres at a constant rate. As a result, the spheres approach each other with a velocity $v.$ Then $v$ varies as a function of the distance $x$ between the spheres, as
