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

Two small spherical balls each carrying a charge $Q = 10\,\mu C$ ($10\, micro-coulomb$) are suspended by two insulating threads of equal lengths $3\, m$ each, from a point fixed in the ceiling. It is found that in equilibrium threads are separated by an angle $120^o$ between them, as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the threads (Given : $\frac{1}{{\left( {4\pi {\varepsilon _0}} \right)}} = 9 \times {10^9}\,Nm/{C^2}$)
