$A$ and $B$ are two identical blocks made of a conducting material. These are placed on a horizontal frictionless table and connected by a light conducting spring of force constant $‘K’$. Unstretched length of the spring is $L_0$. Charge $Q/2$ is given  to each block. Consequently, the spring stretches to an equilibrium length $L$. Value of $Q$ is

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

A thin metallic wire having cross sectional area of $10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2$ is used to make a ring of radius $30 \mathrm{~cm}$. A positive charge of $2 \pi \mathrm{C}$ is uniformly distributed over the ring, while another positive charge of $30$ $\mathrm{pC}$ is kept at the centre of the ring. The tension in the ring is__________ $\mathrm{N}$; provided that the ring does not get deformed (neglect the influence of gravity).

Assertion : A deuteron and an $\alpha -$ particle are placed in an electric field. If $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the forces acting on them and $a_1$ and $a_2$ be their accelerations respectively then, $a_1 = a_2$.

Reason : Forces will be same in electric field
