Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is

  • A

    $2$

  • B

    $3$

  • C

    $4$

  • D

    $6$

Two copper balls, each weighing $10\,g$ are kept in air $10\, cm$ apart. If one electron from every ${10^6}$ atoms is transferred from one ball to the other, the coulomb force between them is (atomic weight of copper is $63.5$)

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
