Two identical conducting spheres $A$  and $B,$  carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameter, and the force between them is $F$ . A third identical conducting sphere, $C,$  is uncharged. Sphere $C$  is first touched to $A,$ then to $B,$  and then removed. As a result, the force between $A$  and $B$  would be equal to

Two point charges $ + 3\,\mu C$ and $ + 8\,\mu C$ repel each other with a force of $40\,N$. If a charge of $ - 5\,\mu C$ is added to each of them, then the force between them will become....$N$

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.  $T =\left[\frac{8 \pi^{3} \epsilon_{0} m d^{3}}{q^{2}}\right]^{1 / 2}$

Why Coulombian force is called two body force ?

A point charge $q_1$ exerts an electric force on a second point charge $q_2$. If third charge $q_3$ is brought near, the electric force of $q_1$ exerted on $q_2$
